Hi, By the way, I was wrong about saying ABAP doesn't work outside of SAP BASIS in me previous example, I found their research project caffeine today and got it working. Of course my next step will be to see how to make it interface with FPC. :) Also, did anyone else notice that tile is now used by some standard units in FPC 2.6?

If you are interested, though, I reproduced it in the screenshot below for you: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/qXJYu68KE20oWWM2loKWTtMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink Hmm. Did you use Tile as a field or property of the class TfrmMap already? Then this is expected, because FPC will in non-Delphi modes error if you reuse an identifier, which is already used as a field or property, as a type or local parameter of a method that belongs to the same class.

[fpc-pascal] Re: Duplicate Identifier
That's different case IMHO (In My Humble Observation), I guess it's something
like this:
{$mode objfpc}
type
TTestClass = class
FTile: Integer;
property Tile: Integer read FTile write FTile;
procedure Test;
end;
procedure TTestClass.Test;
var
Tile: Integer;
begin
end;
begin
end.
In this case, the local variable has the same name as one of the class
properties. This does trigger the duplicate identifier error because both
have the same scope.
