[Coco] Basic09 INPUT - Is this safe.

[Salvador Garcia]

 I am unfamiliar with BASIC09, but do know programming languages. I am glad the others clarified, but I would be shocked and traumatized if BASIC09 allowed data smashing like you describe. Salvador

  Suppose you have

  DIM test$:STRING[12]

  and then later in your code you have,

  INPUT test$

  It seems to auto truncate.
  Does it or might I be smashing other variables if
  my response to the input prompt was

  SUPERCALAFRAGALISTICXPALLADO .. whatever ?
