You are using the ELSE command incorrectly (in my opinion of course, as is all of this post). It is not meant to be used in the middle of a line like you are using it. It is meant to be at the start of a new line.

So in this case (putting everything on one line), you just put a colon before else, and both snippets work.





This is not a bug in my opinion, just incorrect syntax that the compiler trips over. (Which I guess we could call a bug - it should not compile in the first place)

[EDIT]
Upon looking at the other post.....that's interesting.
I feel that a colon should be required even when there is only 1 command before the ELSE

You must always use an ENDIF to mark the end of the ELSE command sequence.

Thats right out of the DBPro help file.

That's nice and clear. Shame the first isn't described properly in the Help file.

Do "bugs" still appear if you stick to one of those two forms of the syntax - or are the "bugs" a consequence of not following the syntax correctly?

About this.
It is the most popular command.
By other BASIC languages, this works normally.
Even DBC works normally in the same way.
It is only DBP that do not work.
I want you to work in DBP.
