Compiler slips.

[DienyduToit]

This line of code gave no compile error, but a run time error 9:

If Rcvd&(dtlItm&>0) Or itmFlg&(dtlItm&)>0 Then

- should be --

If Rcvd&(dtlItm)&>0 Or itmFlg&(dtlItm&)>0 Then

Roll on, upgraded/updated Editor ... !

Dieny,

That's because the first line is perfectly valid syntax -

  Rcvd&(dtlItm&>0)

...will evaluate to Rcvd&(%TRUE) or Rcvd&(%FALSE) at run-time, which may or may not be
sensible, depending on what these things mean. The compiler is correct. The upgrade
you seek is the #DoWhatIMean directive, which I also eagerly await

Regards,

Paul

Paul is correct - the typo created a boolean evaluation for the subscript value - a perfectly valid syntax.

- should be --

If Rcvd&(dtlItm[b])&>0[/b] Or itmFlg&(dtlItm&)>0 Then

Er, I assume the "corrected line" was a typo? ")&>0" is a real syntax error.

Thanks, Paul and Lance. I'd no idea such code might be valid
syntax; it makes little sense to me, though possibly in some
other context it has application.

Er - yes, Lance, that was a typo.
