Re: Irritating sqr error

[Jim Hardesty <jhardest@LMBERRY.COM>]

Bing.  Ray gets it in one.
Important safety tip, either don't end your variables with # or $ or don't use let.
The message is sort of misleading:
   (SQR 4000) Result #variable or $variable or '=' missing in expression.

Important safety tip, if you want to use let then don't end  variables with # or $.

If only PS hadn't named all these fields page#, line#, transit#, etc etc etc.

Jim,

Very interesting.  It appears that the second is rejected by
the compiler.  Note that this is also rejected:

   let $transit$ = '041001939'

Interestingly, the following is NOT rejected:

   let $x = $transit#
