When the Checker finds something wrong, it just reports the line number and says "Syntax Error". Since it knows there is a fault in the Syntax, it would be nice to be given a clue as to what the problem is.

Does it always say syntax error ? It should raise the same error than a standard compilation, if not it's a bug.

With the exception of missing brackets, e.g. ")" expected and other simple omissions like EndIf, EndProcedure etc, you do often just get that 'syntax error' message - I'm thinking that if an error is detected, it should always be possible to give a clue as to what is wrong.
