Ticket #7580: re-target operator may cause problems without semicolon
- Reported by:
- Eric Knibbe

- Priority:
- minor
- Component:
- Lasso 9
- Version:

- Platform:
Consider the following code:
As-is, it runs fine. However, if you remove the semicolon after the ampersand, the query expression will error out with "The local variable "item" has not been defined". This doesn't occur if the re-target operation happens to be inside a set of parens, such as when setting a variable.
I've seen that the guide's examples include the semicolon, but it seems strange that it's required in these cases.

local(words = array(' first item ','second item'))
#words->first->trim&;
with item in #words
do {^
#item + "<br>"
^}
#words->first->trim&;
with item in #words
do {^
#item + "<br>"
^}
