Bug? Compiling Error on B4A V7 - For with STEP variable{Solved}

[Roger Daley]

Hi All

I have just updated to V7 B4A and have the following compiling error on existing code. Can someone please tell me what the error report really means.

This is code section flagged as an error, the complete project is to large to upload.

'Reload "Recording" array from Recording2
        For FNM = 0 To 15
            For STEPS = 0 To 99                                        'This is line 353
                For DATA2 = 0 To 1
                    Recording(FNM,STEPS,DATA2) = Recording2(FNM,STEPS,DATA2)
                Next
            Next
        Next

This is the error report.

                      ^

Any clues would be appreciated, I can't see anything wrong with line 353.

It is indeed a bug. It will happen when the iterator variable includes the word 'step'.
It is fixed for the next update. For now you will need to change the variable name.
