Error Message

Syntax error:

End is not allowed in an expression.

more generally,

«keyword» is not allowed in an expression.

Description

An example where this occurs:

Begin
   Local x:=1;
End
x

In this example, Local expects a body expression after the semi-colon, but instead encounters an unexpected keyword, End, resulting in this syntax error.

Presumably the intended phrasing in this example would have been

Begin
   Local x:=1;
   x
End
