David,

It's true that I only need one &. Let's say that I made mistake in typing as follows:

function GetNames(lpcAlias,lpcIntoCursor,lpcCondition)
 select Upper(name as Name ;
 from (lpcAlias) ;
 where &lpcCondition ;
 into cursor (pcIntoCursor)
endfunc

The compiler is not going to tell me that a parenthesis ) is missing for upper function.
I would improve my code such as reducing & etc.. What I want from the compiler is a warning, because it may not be an error prior to the macro substitution. This would be helpful, don't you think?
