Hi Tom,
By inserting PRINTs in varied places, it appears that the problem actually arises when you get to the
Code:
PRINT#channel%,"Number of people it will serve " numofpeople%
The problem is you have a string and then a variable with no separator. Try sticking a comma in (for each of those lines).
As you say, you'll need to use STR$(num) to convert the numbers to ascii equivalents.
best wishes,
D

You posted exactly the same question at BBC-BASIC-ICT and I've replied there.

Just to clarify, you can do one or the other; so either of these changes will avoid the error:
Code:PRINT#channel%, "Number of people it will serve ", numofpeople%
PRINT#channel%, "Number of people it will serve " + STR$(numofpeople%)
I explain in my reply at BBC-BASIC-ICT some of the issues surrounding the choice between these options.
Richard.
