#23 Dangling semi-colon on PUT # produces wrong error

Open
opened 3 years ago by ChipMaster · 0 comments

PUT with a semi-colon at the end of the command produces an “undefined variable” error. I spend too much time with languages that terminate all commands with semi-colons! I’m guessing that a trailing comma causes the same error. This should be reported as a “syntax error”... otherwise somebody is liable to rip their hair out trying to figure out what is wrong with their perfectly good variable.

Example command:

PUT #1, , s$;
