RAP Pascal - case statement problem

rbuser

Hi.

I'm using RB 6.

I thought RAP was mean't to be a subset of object pascal. But for the
following case statement

case plSessionReport['ETTSubjectively'] of

0: LblETTSubjectively.caption :='Positive';
1: LblETTSubjectively.caption :='Negative';
2: LblETTSubjectively.caption :='Equivocal';
-1: LblETTSubjectively.caption := '';

end;

and others like it, it works just fine as a case statement in Delphi, but
doesn't work in RAP. RAP stops at the '-' sign and complains about that.

I need to have the case statement recognise the -1, because the 0, 1, 2,
and -1 correspond to itemindex settings for a radiogroup control, so these
are the only sensible numbers. I don't want to rewrite all my RAP to use
clumsy if/then constructs instead of case statements.

So what do I do to get the case staments to work properly in RAP?

Thanks!

I have researched this issue and have created a patch for RB 7.03. You must
have RB 7.03 to apply the patch.

A work around for this issue is to create a local variable as shown below.
(I tried implementing a work around with a const declaration rather than a
variable, but this is an issue also. This issue is address by the patch
mention above.).

var
liMinusOne: Integer;

begin
liMinusOne := -1'

case Value of
liMinusOne: {add code here}
end;

end;
