How Come?

[Robert J.M. Edis]

G'day Terry

I believe is has something to do with how PowerHouse parses the code.  When
in the form IF value EQ item the parser identifies the expected data type of
item by inference from the value.  When the other way around, i.e. IF item
EQ value, and the 'item' has not been referenced already, the parser is not
sure what the result of the equation should be.  The result is that most of
the time you will get an error, some of the time it appears to work and some
of the time you can get strange results!

The 'correct' form should be IF value EQ (or another operator) item.

I hope that helps.
