FIX: "BLOCK ELSE/END IF Must Begin Line" Error Message (71241)
This article was previously published under Q71241
SYMPTOMS
Two or more adjacent accented e's in a REMark or quoted string
incorrectly give a "BLOCK ELSE/END IF must begin line" error message
at run time in QuickBasic's interpreter. (You can create an accented e
by pressing OPTION+e followed by e.) The problem does not occur in
QuickBasic's compiler.
This problem occurs in the interpreter in Microsoft QuickBasic
versions 1.00 and 1.00a for Macintosh Systems. This problem is
corrected in version 1.00b.
Code Example
REM ee 'Where ee means to press OPTION+e followed by e, then again.
One accented e is okay. The problem occurs with two or more accented
e's in a row, or when separated by spaces.
