Difference in syntax leads to error

[Brian Alvarez]

This compiles and works fine:

Code: [Select]

FUNCTION MODUL2(_arr_bstring *myarr, BYVAL TAGCTLDATA ptctldata PTR) AS INT
      ptctldata.ncolor = 1234
END FUNCTION
This doesn't compile:

Code: [Select]

FUNCTION MODUL2(_arr_bstring *myarr, BYVAL ptctldata AS TAGCTLDATA PTR) AS INT
      ptctldata.ncolor = 552100  '<--- NOT FOUND?
END FUNCTION

Code: [Select]

ERROR: Not found : ptctldata.ncolor
WORD: ptctldata.ncolor
LINE: 236
FILE: main source
PASS: 2
Is this an error or is it by design?

Using mixed C-style and Basic-style terms in the prototype.

C-style expects type before varname.
