Greetings - This is my first post here. All help is appreciated. Joe

I am trying to structure some code that I can stop development and cut a new APP foir my client without my new stuff messing him up. To do so I want to use compile time directives.

In the main module I place this line:

#DEFINE INDEVELOPMENT 1

Within this module there are locations where I reference this like so:

#IF INDEVELOPMENT = 1
...do something new and special
#ENDIF

or even tried this:

#IFDEF INDEVELOPMENT
...do something new and special
#ENDIF

In several other modules (some of which are PRG's the others are SCX's) I do the same thing.

The compiler issues no errors for the coding, however I do remember (when using #IF rather than #IFDEF) getting the "Preprocessor expression is invalid" when editing.
I suspect scope is the issue at hand here but can find absolutely no documentation on scope for compile time variables.
