Select End not recognised
Posted: Tue Dec 05, 2023 1:25 pm
Something which seems pedantic, but can be confusing, is the SELECT END error message.
Intuitively I used to end a SELECT section with SELECT END, which causes a contradictory "SELECT END Missing" message as shown in the pic, even though "Select End" is clearly present. But the interpreter errors because it is actually looking for END SELECT, which is not present.
So perhaps the interpreter could recognise both END SELECT and SELECT END as equally valid, or the error message changed to "END SELECT Missing".
