Title: syntax error on 'ELSE' in '$include: 'xxx.bm'
Post by: gartho on June 03, 2019, 04:28:54 am: QB64 ver 1.000
syntax error on 'ELSE' in '$include: 'xxx.bm' when 'ELSE' is not first & only word in line
this is OK...
IF fkey = 6 THEN
do delete
ELSE
do update
END IF
this gives 'syntax error' on 'ELSE' line when IDE does it's scan
IF fkey <> 27 THEN
IF fkey = 6 THEN
do delete procedure
ELSE
do update procedure
END IF
END IF

the work-around...
IF fkey = 6 THEN ....
IF fkey <> 6 THEN ....

guess I should move to v 1.3 huh?

Post by: RhoSigma on June 03, 2019, 04:55:13 am: You probably have a TAB before the ELSE instead of spaces, which will error out when it happens to be in an $INCLUDed file.
And yes, you should definitly move to v1.3, cause v1.0 is years old.

BTW - The mentioned TAB glitch in includes was actually fixed in v1.3, see ChangeLog.
