So it is not a syntax error, merely a sin. We always had a way to
qualify data fields when copied in, The use of copy statements
for procedural code is a quaint actvity that I have never seen in
practice. So one more left-handed red-haired Senegalese shortstop
generates yet another exception to the exception to the
exception.
The last sensible standard was 74, and that was in some
significant ways a regression from 68. Now we have the ultimate
exercise in oxymoronity, object oriented COBOL, a clear case of
making a sow's ear from a silk purse. Fortunately no one has
completely implemented it yet.
GMH is turning over in her grave, poor dear.
Sorry, I don't understand all in this mail (I have not too much time)
but I can certify that MF or Acu DON'T detect words in data (or paragraph
names, wich is less frequent) USED (twice ?) in a program.
In this case, TC don't compile without message for why some years ago
I had uses OC in order (in a first time) to know where is/are the error(s) ...
Please, don't change that or we can "going in the wall" !
About OO, it's very interesting to read the documentation of Perl
about "Objects" ... it seems to me that if someone like a OO compiler
it can buy it on the market, if one is working.
If Sergey may test his (bad) programs with all the compilers on the market
for why he wish to use OC ? Just in order to write that something not work ?
(no more comments about, buth someones are paid in order to destroy Open-Source)
best regards,
