Re: Gotcha: Odd Error

Any line containing an & for macro expansion is not parsed at compilation time, since the & could contain any expression.

Hello:

 A line of code was throwing an error at run-time:
      if !doseek(str(&alraw..trnnbr),6))

Note the extra right parenthesis before the comma. Because of the &, the error was not reported during compilation. After all, alraw could contain a left parenthesis.

Sincerely,
