Enrico,
This is NOT a bug, and it's 100% Clipper compatible. This can be corrected
to work like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#command TEST <right: RIGHT> [<pad>]] ;
[COLOR <nClrFore> [,<nClrBack>]] ;
;
=> Test( <.right.>, <pad>, <nClrFore>, <nClrBack> )
FUNCTION MAIN()
TEST COLOR 1, 2 RIGHT 10 // first syntax
TEST RIGHT 10 COLOR 1, 2 // second syntax
RETURN NIL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is the Clipper PP does NOT consider RESTRICTED MATCH MARKER a
STOPPER when skipping over OPTIONAL input. I'm sorry that I don't have a
more descriptive explanation as this is very technical. If you tried to
develop a Clipper compatible Pre-Processor it would become crystal clear.
