Hi --

Is this a bug?


If I DIM a handle like so:

DIM picH AS HANDLE

it's ok, but if I do, as I should be allowed in FB3 release 3

DIM AS HANDLE picH

the compiler complains:

Error: A Variable was expected here???
in file Temp Project at line 31 in TEKEN
*dim as handle picH*

Other variables can be DIM'ed in Release 3 with the type before the name:

DIM AS LONG a
DIM AS STR32 tmp

Anybody know?


By the way, I can DIM a variable as type INTEGER instead of WORD or 
SHORT or INT. Is this an undocumented feature?


Cheers,
