Re: RDi 9.0 LPEX syntax checking on Constants...

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It has been the behaviour forever Ken. 

I don't use F5 - I just move the cursor bcd to the first line and type a space that forces it to reconsider the whole statement.

PMR is not a bad idea - this is not the only place where a failure to back off to the last (effective) end-of-statement (;) when syntax checking new/changed entries often leaves ugly messages around.
