buggie in else syntax ?

[stef mientki]

hello,

I've the idea that the "else" syntax is not always handled correctly,
or I'm overlooking something.

This pieces of code are automatic translation from another language,
sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't ???

This piece of code works nice:

a = 2

def JSM (line_nr):
print line_nr

if a>3:
print 'asddas'
else: JSM(230) ; \ <== this is the problem line, that's ok here
print 'aaps'

While this piece of code gives a syntax error:

#Function button_antidend er(bit in pin,sbyte in out
Button_Counter_ Temp,byte in demp) return bit is
def button_antidend er ( pin, button_counter_ temp, demp ):
#serial_hw_writ e(counter)
Serial_HW_Write ( button_counter_ temp ) ;JSM(226)
if JSM(227) and ( button_counter_ temp >= 0 ):
if JSM(228) and ( pin == on ):
button_counter_ temp = button_counter_ temp + 1
;JSM(229)
else: JSM(230) ;
\ <=== SYNTAX ERROR
button_counter_ temp = 1
;JSM(231)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\data_to_tes t\JALsPy\JALsPy .py", line 347, in ?

import JAL_simulation_ file
File "D:\data_to_tes t\JALsPy\JAL_si mulation_file.p y", line 265
else: JSM(230) ; \

I guess it's not the preferred syntax, but the resemblance with the
original language it optimal.
Why is it sometimes accepted an sometimes give an error message ?

thanks,
