Proc Local variable question

[trastikata]

Hello all,

I am rewriting a program, converting Subs to Procs and I get a strange error, where local variables are not being created, am I missing something in this code?

P.s. The code is stripped to minimum for the error demonstration purpose, there's more into it, otherwise it would have been simply DelayMS 

Code Select Expand

Device=18F26K22        
Declare Xtal=8

Main:
    Delay(30)


Proc Delay(MsDelay As Word)
    Dim i As Word
   
    For i = 0 UpTo MsDelay
        DelayMS 1
    Next
EndProc

A local variable's name must be longer than a single character.

I'll change the error message to detect it when it is created. I thought I had, but it does not seem to be working as I intended. Sometimes, when creating code, the obvious things slip past because a bias creeps into the subconcious and we tend not to see the obvious. :-)

A local variable's name must be longer than a single character.

Note that a local variable's name must consist of more than 1 character.

Now when you said it, I saw it in the manual, but did not pay attention to it all. I saw the max of 32 characters note, but this somehow slipped through - subconcious bias
