Yes. It's an example from the Hacker's Guide to VFP 3.0.
Apparently in VFP 3.0 and before you were allowed to place comments on the same line as your if statement. The way that FP dealt with that is as soon as it hit a syntax error it would just make the rest of the line a comment.

In this example the missing "." in the "AND" is what is causing the problem. It evaluates only the first part of the if and the rest of the if it just acts as if its a comment.
