Regardless of the above, you couldn't say a truer thing. Reserved
words shouldn't be used for variable names.
Jacque,
I'm going to respectfully disagree on this one in that I haven't found
any problems with using reserved words as keys of custom property
sets. Here is why -
It's okay, I agree there isn't any problem with your approach. I stand
by the generic statement though, because so much of my business is
converting HyperCard stacks to Revolution and I constantly run into
things like this:
put fld "name" into name
put fld "date" into date
which throws compiler errors all over the place. So as a general rule I
always say that avoiding reserved words as variable names is just a
generally good idea.
You are just one of those people who know enough that they can break the
rules. ;)
