Compiler Error 1100
fatal error: Statement outside of function scope
User-defined functions, Events, and compiler directives can only be defined at a
global level.
Scope refers to the level at which an Event, user-defined function or statement
resides. Having a global scope means that the function or variable can be called or
accessed from anywhere within the program. A local scope means that the variable
can only be accessed from within the event or function that it resides in.
Variables can have either a global or local scope.
The following are examples of this error:
INTEGER i;
STRING str[100];
#DEFINE_CONSTANT myConst 1 // ok
#DEFINE_CONSTANT myConst 2; // error – semicolon is not
needed
i = 5; // error – variables can only be used within a
// function or event
Call MyFunc(); // error – functions can only be called from
// another function or event
; // error – a semicolon is valid statement (which
// does nothing), and is not contained
// within a function or event
{ // error – braces only signify a group of
// statements within a function or
// construct (i.e.: if-else, while, etc)
INTEGER x;
INTEGER y;
}
Print( “outside of everything” ); // error – statement is
// not contained within
// a function or event
FUNCTION MyFunc() // ok
{
}
