RE: Error in the EVAL Statement? (when + is used more than once)

Is
  eval amount2 = amount1 + + 500.00
legal?
Rephrased,
eval amount2 = amount1 + (+500.00)
which is different from
eval amount2 = amount1 + (-500.00)

I think it's taking the second + as a sign.

eval amount2 = amount1 *
     * 500.00

I'm sure would bomb out, since * is not a sign.

Regards,

Jim Langston

Hi list.

Just for curiosity, but is this a valid statement?

c                   eval      amount2 = amount1 +
c                             + 500.00

Notice that there are two "+" signs.  The program works but ... just curious.
