Bug ID: 139457
Summary: Loading libraries with GlobalScope not working as
described in LO Help
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.1.0.1 rc
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: BASIC

File with the Basic code described in the bug report
Hi! Help pages about Basic libraries state that the library must be loaded by
placing the GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary("Library Name") statement
before the first macro in the module.
For example, the Help page for the Tools Library says: "This library must be
loaded before execution. Place the following statement before the first macro
in your module:
GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary("Tools")"
Link:
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.1/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/03/lib_tools.html?DbPAR=BASIC#bm_id491529070339774
The problem is that these instructions don't seem correct. If I create a new
module in the Standard library of a new file and enter the following code (see
that the library is loaded before the first macro):
----------------
GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary("Tools")
Sub Main
'Just some random code to showcase the error
MsgBox "Hello"
End Sub
----------------
Now, if I run the Main macro, I get the error message "BASIC syntax error.
Expected: Sub."
However, if I place the LoadLibrary statement inside the Sub, everything works
fine.
I am reporting this because this issue is either a bug in the Basic interpreter
or it is something that needs fixing in the Help pages.
I attached a ODS file with the example above for testing.
