Can anyone explain this bizarre behavior?

The following throws a syntax error:

FOR EACH loControl IN this.parent.Controls
IF loControl.ReadOnly

ENDIF
NEXT


So does this:

#DEFINE READONLY -1
FOR EACH loControl IN this.parent.Controls
IF loControl.ReadOnly

ENDIF
NEXT

But this works just fine:

LOCAL lcReadOnly
lcReadOnly = "ReadOnly"
FOR EACH loControl IN this.parent.Controls
IF loControl.&lcReadOnly

ENDIF
NEXT
