Hello All,

I have a long code which include lines for writing stuffs into an 
assigned writable text-file F.


   WRITELN(F: 'Hello');

   WRITELN(F, 'Hello');

The code can be compiled with 3.2.2 in i386/windows and i386/linux and 
runs both times at perfection. But... i'm wondering if the first line 
is really legal... Any advice ?


Write(), WriteLn() and WriteStr() (and Str()) allow to adjust the way a 
numerical value is written by using additional parameters delimited by 
colons: VarToOutput:NumChars[:Decimals] (see 
https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/rtl/system/write.html ). 
That it nevertheless compiles correctly and executes as "Writeln(F, 
'Hello')" is due to a bug in the handling of the parameters. So, please 
report a bug with a complete example that should fail.


Regards,
Sven

Yes, Doug, I agree ; but it is compiled with no warning and runs perfectly. Now, why the compiler do not 
complain... ?


Cheers, Ched'
