[Gambas-user] Unexecuted Orphan Code or Something?

[Fabien Bodard]

this

Return "Today" &
             Format(Date(Year(Now), Month(Now), iTp1), "dddd") &
            ", the " &
              Format(Date(Year(Now), Month(Now), iTp1), "d") &
              fuFormatSuffix(iTp1)
              ' "Of" &
             Format(Date(Year(Now), Month(Now), iTp1), "mmmm, yyyy")


can be rewritted this way to understanbd what happen :

1:/   Return Format(Date(Year(Now), Month(Now), iTp1), "dddd") & ", the " &
Format(Date(Year(Now), Month(Now), iTp1), "d") & fuFormatSuffix(iTp1)

2:/   Format(Date(Year(Now), Month(Now), iTp1), "mmmm, yyyy")


The line 2 is not executed because the programme leave on line 1

I think this code is more easy to read :

Dim hDate as Date

hDate = Date(Year(Now), Month(Now), iTp1)

Return subst("Today &1, the &1&2 &4",  Format(hDate, "dddd")
,format(hDate,"d"), fuFormatSuffix(iTp1), Format(hDate, "mmmm, yyyy"))
