Yes you could use suffixes if you wanted to on QuickBasic and QBasic.

QBasic actually was the same language as QuickBasic, just that it was an
interpreter only, not a compiler.  The language itself was identical (to
ver 4.5 if I recall correctly).  If you want a trip down memory lane,
download qb64[1] for your chosen platform and have fun.  qb64 is
actually a full-blown compiler that implements almost all of the
QuickBasic/QBasic language with an integrated IDE that is a
re-implementation of the good old DOS one that was in QBasic and QuickBasic.
