Validation at compile time
Post by simong42 on Mar 14^th, 2013, 5:58pm

Are there any validation checks carried out at compile time?

e.g. unrecognised keyword, invalid character, mismatched FOR / NEXT.

There are a few, but not many. Some compile-time checks are as follows:

• ELSE without a preceding IF or ON
  
• Assembler code syntax error
  
• Missing \ at start of continuation line
  
• Illegal character in variable name
  
• WHEN, ENDCASE, OTHERWISE or ENDIF not at start of line
  
• Mismatched quotes
