Description pflin 2009-03-27 03:57:40 UTC 
The following macros causes basic syntax error in OOo basic, while it could pass
in vb6.

Sub main()
    Dim a1 As Integer
    Dim a2 As Integer
    a1 = 1
    a2 = -1
    If a1 = a2 <> 0 Then
        MsgBox "a1 equals to a2"
    Else
        MsgBox "a1 doesn't equal to a2"
    End If
End Sub

It seems OOo basic fails to compile "If a1 = a2 <> 0 Then"

pflin -> ab,

Dear basic expert, I think you must have a better way to fix this issue.

Thanks
Comment 4 ab 2009-04-03 14:31:35 UTC 
ab->pflin: I'm not sure if there is a better one. At least the results
for both a1=1,a2=-1 as for a1=1,a2=1 are the same as in vb6, so
maybe the solution just *is* as simple.

I will keep this as patch, assign it to cws ab6, target OOo 3.2

FIXED
Comment 8 ab 2009-07-22 10:52:40 UTC 
ab->jsk: Please verify using the test code.
The code should compile. Result should be:
"a1 doesn't equal to a2".
If you change "a2 = -1" to "a2 = 1" result should be:
"a1 equals to a2"
