Hi,
In my current program I wrote the line "symbol ALL = b8" in PE6 and was surprised that the syntax check responded with "Syntax error on line ... at/before position 10". BTW "ALL" is the Low byte of the Low word of "Register A" (Long Word) which fits with a naming scheme that I'd adopted. "ALH" is accepted and I've currently patched the program by changing ALL to ALo .
Further investigation shows that this appears to be a "PE6 / M2" issue, which doesn't occur with PE5, nor if an X2 (or some legacy chips) is selected. This is with PE6.0.9.3, which might not be quite the latest version, and also AXEpad (1.5.1).
So it doesn't look much like a Reserved Word issue, but if it is, what does it do? Of course it's not a very good symbol name in lower case, looking too much like a11 (A eleven) in some fonts. Perhaps this has lead to the problem?
Cheers, Alan.
