Order of statements/metastatements

[Mark Newman]

While merging the code for several small dlls into one dll, I noticed that PB requires that you put metastatements before any "regular statements". Am I correct? And are there any other rules for the order of code, such as the position of DECLAREs, equates, etc.? I didn't see anything in the manual or help file about this.

Thanks!

I've never had any problems putting DECLARE statements or equates in the source preceding the procedure in which they are referenced; that is, I can have

DECLARE SUB xxxx
DECLARE FUNCTION....
%One = 1
SUB Foo...
END SUB
FUNCTION Bar..
END FUNCTION

DECLARE SUB baz
%THREE = 3
SUB Baz..
END SUB

Near as I can tell, anything goes as long as you follow the cardinal rule: A DECLARE for a procedure or "define" for an equate must physically precede its use in code.
