I guess many of you will have come across these 2 comment line bugs, but here goes anyway.

1. If you you put the word "as" into a comment line, the variable list still shows it as if you've declared a variable.

eg
rem if A is as big as B, run this function

will result in "is" declared as "big" (which obviously doesn't mean anything)

2. if you end a comment line in "..." the next line of code is ignored!

Now if u found that useful, can someone, PLEASE give me an answer to my earlier post on fatal XP errors ?!

mow, where's that valium gone?

To be honest it sounds more like an editor bug than a DBpro bug as it doesn't seem to actually effect the program, the seconed one is a feature so its not really a bug.

Specs:- 1GHZ athlon, Radeon8500, 192mb ram, winxp

Yeah but if you don't know it that could seriously screw with your mind! A user is quite likely to write

do
rem I'll edit this later...
x=x+1
set cursor 1,1
print x
sync
loop

And then wonder why the code doesn't work

Maybe if you add '...' then then editor should pop up a warning message, which you could obviously chose 'never tell me this again' if you allready know

As a side note, does anyone know when the compiler (and by association) the syntax checker will be improved ?

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

Ask Guy.

The second 'bug' can be avoided quite easily. Select menu 'tools/system options' and change the Concatenation symbol, or disable it.
