VFP 6 (and ?): Lazy Parsing

#1

I just corrected a bug where VFP could have parsed better. I had
a do case. Somehow, I left off the case keyword on the two cases.
There were no compilation or run-time errors. Here is the corrected
code with the correction in caps:

do case
CASE cwhoshad.stnbusy="L"
busymsg="Station is busy (Local use)."
CASE cwhoshad.stnbusy="R"
busymsg="Station is busy (Remote use)."
otherwise
busymsg=;
"Station is busy. The access type is unknown ("+cwhoshad.stnbusy+")."
endcase

Shades of
* This is a comment;
? "and so is this."

Sincerely,

Hi Gene,

And what was the behaviour?

The otherwise branch was always executed?

cwhoshad.stnbusy="R"
busymsg="Station is busy (Remote use)."

endcase

Yes, seems so. Not very (other)wise.

Bye, Olaf.
