Curious error.

Hi All,
I'm dabbling with some older chips as servo drivers and triggers for an old friend's garden railway set up.
I have two simple and similar listings of code for the same chip but one throws up an error and one doesn't.  Why should I get an error?  If I rem out the offending line it simply faults on the next line (line 122).

Cheers,
David

Hi David,
What device, what version of the compiler, can you post the code if it is short.

Regards,
Bob

The error is probably not related to the if-then in question, but some other error or omission earlier in the code.

I am not sure for this behavior, but sometimes I get similar "errors" due to faults earlier in the code.

I've had the same event a lot. Other mistakes can cause this.

How right you both were.  (this is embarrassing) I had missed a total of 8 Endifs much earlier in the program after cutting and pasting some code.  It was curious where it actually flagged the error as this was innocent code but yes the mistake was all mine.
