Initializing global public variables

[corwin42]

If I try to initialize global variables which are declared as public on the same line as the declaration I get very strange error message.

Sub Globals
 Public someVariable = 1
End Sub

gives error

Sub Globals
 Public someVariable
 someVariable = 1
End Sub

is fine

Greetings,

The first syntax is not supported.
It wasn't supported in previous versions as well:

Dim x = 34 'ERROR

The second case is fine and the variable will be public.
