Would you say I should or should not be able to do this?
report processing
-------top of table-------
...
withpod: if: WithPOD eq "Y"
then: stuff
if: withpod
then: stuff
...
end
@once
if:
then: WithPOD = "N"
if:
then: input popup WithPOD "Include POD? \GZ" DEFAULT "N"
if:
then: end
if:
then: declare WithPOD(48,*,g)
-------end of table-------
Originally that table worked fine with the long variable and only one line
of code conditional on it, and no "withpod" label
When I went to add another line of code that hinges on WithPOD, I added the
label to end up with code like above.
When I went to save it it gave me a syntax error on the withpod label saying
that it's already used. withpod does not appear anywhere else as a label, or
anywhere else at all in all lower case except where you see it above in the
if: test.
Easy to work around of course but as far as I'm concerned there wasn't any
ambiguity there and I beleive this code should be legal.
