question about line continuation

[Guilect]

Okay , I am ready to look silly on this one.
A most simple thing seems not to be working for me.
I wish to use line continuation to format the look of some code.
From the help file:

Source lines may be continued into the next editor line by appending an underscore _ after a comma or white space at the end of a line."

I have tried both an underscore imediately after the comma and an underscore after a space.
Yet, the following causes the parser to not like it.

What is the correct syntax to do this?

Code Select Expand

sub test4(a as int,_
b as int,_
c as int,_
d as int)

print str$(a+b+c+d)
end SUB

test4(0,1,2,3)

WAITCON
end

Thanks,
Guilect

It appears that the portion of the parser that handles SUB statements does not recognize that rule.

For example, the following will work fine and I have used this structure in several programs:

Code Select Expand

sub test4(a as int,b as int,c as int,d as int)

print str$(a+b+c+d)
end SUB

test4(2,_
4,_
6,_
1)


WAITCON
end

Also this will work:

Code Select Expand

declare import, CreateWindowExA(dwExStyle:int, _
   lpClassName:string, _
   lpWindowName:string, _
   dwStyle:int, _
   x:int, _
   y:int, _
   nWidth:int, _
   nHeight:int, _
   hWndParent:int, _
   hMenu:int, _
   hInstance:int, _
   lpParam:pointer),HANDLE

Thanks Larry.
Thought I might be using it incorrectly.

Maybe for v2.0 of IWB we can have that implemented
