The following, without indents, works on my computer (VFP6):
select;
artcode;
from;
articlemain
although, according to your comment, it should give an error.
I think the people at MS simply corrected the problem (say, by adding a space when joining lines), and forgot to remove the warning from the manual.

>you'll get errors because there are no spaces where they belong. If you indent the additional lines, you won't have a problem. This has always been the case. They're just providing a warning about it in VFP7.
