[6.20] Macro problem?

[Michael Vogel]

The editor does execute this code without an error:

Code: Select all

Macro SetMessage(messagetext,hey=0)
	Debug messagetext
EndMacro

Debug "---"
SetMessage(StringField("A.B.C",1,".")
Debug "---"
SetMessage(StringField("A.B.C",1,"."))
Debug "---"

Confirmed with PB 6.20 (x64) on Windows. That's a bug.

The following simplified code also does not raise an error here:

Code: Select all

Macro SetMessage(messagetext, hey=0)
   Debug messagetext
EndMacro

SetMessage("A"
SetMessage("A")

With 6.21 Beta 1 (x64) on Windows I get a "Syntax error".

This is a mistake in the code. A bracket is missing.

Code: Select all

Macro SetMessage(messagetext,hey=0)
	Debug messagetext
EndMacro

Debug "---"
SetMessage(StringField("A.B.C",1,"."))
Debug "---"
SetMessage(StringField("A.B.C",1,"."))
Debug "---"

That is correct. However, the issue here is that PB 6.20 accepts the faulty code, while PB 6.21 correctly displays a syntax error.
