KB Issue

The IF ELSE Statement has to be inside the SUB(), not outside of it.

Issue Details

BC30689: Statement cannot appear outside of a method body/multiline lambda.

Recreate Issue

When developing the page to process payments, I built the IF-ELSE statement outside the SUB(). This type of programming is done by habit, since that's how I did it in ASP Classic.

if thePT = "Monthly" Then
	ThePay = "$5.00"
	Else
	ThePay = "$50.00"
	end if
Private Sub Process()
' Insert or Update Statement here.
End Sub
