Actually Bill, PI/open and Prime INFORMATION (last couple of releases) had
meaningful run-time and compile-time error/warning messages.  Very similar
to your examples with the variable/constant names. The online help also gave
you more info for the error code that it displayed (sometimes useful :-)).

David

Subject: RE: [UV] Variable never assigned a value warning


Marco:

A useful alternative, which noone has ever fixed in over 25 years, is the
message:

 [B10] in program "MyProgram", Line 106: Variable has not been assigned a
value; zero used.

     or

 [B10] in program "MyProgram", Line 106: Nonnumeric where numeric required;
zero used.


Why in the world hasn't it been fixed to display:

 [B10] in program "MyProgram", Line 106: "InvoiceNo" has not been assigned a
value; zero used.

     or

 [B10] in program "MyProgram", Line 106: "InvoiceNo" = "A"; Nonnumeric where
numeric required; zero used.

Stupid questions for the exasperated business developer?

Bill
