why would I get a sytax error on something like this.

program exaple;
type
fbflags=
(fbnoratio,
fbunhidden,
fbdirdlpath,
fbshowname,
fbusegifspecs,
fbcdrom,
fbshowdate,
fbnodupecheck);
var
fbstat : set of fbflags;
begin

fbstat := fbstat+[fbcdrom];
end.




I am just stump'd in my other programs it doesn't give a sytax error and I haven't changed any of the compiler switch's.

dunno... what version of PASCAL are you attempting to do this in?

but in looking at it, it doesn't seem to be right...

Please, let me know if you see anything out of the ordinary with it.


I know: fbstat := [];
With the above example compiles correctly, but even with fbstat := [fbcdrom]; finks out on me.

Hello Chris.

hummm... i just tried it in TP6 exactly as you posted it and it worked properly...

but in looking at it, it doesn't seem to be right...

Please, let me know if you see anything out of the
ordinary with it.

what i thought i saw was a figment of my imagination...

fbstat := [fbcdrom];
finks out on me.

its working fine in TP6...

[time passes]

it works just fine in BP7, too... i dunno what to say... did you copy and paste
it into your original message? if not, you might try copying it from the message and pasting it into the editor and trying it again...

okay, well.. what I gave you was an example of how I was using it.

Shrug.. I'll just let it be for now. It might just be something I'll see later.

thanks for your help

Which pascal version? borland..turbo...visual?
I have a guess but need more info...
Quote the code again above so I'll know what we are
talking about :)
