Hi Rick,
I found multiple RETURNs inside a Try/Catch-Block. It runs into error 2060. Lineno is based on Web-Connection 8.5

Damn that's quite a few of them. I always forget that this doesn't work which is such a PITA especially since the compiler doesn't flag it. It makes sense that you can't return from a catch block but it's silly we can't return from a try block.
IAC, I've fixed all of these.
What are you using for your editor that is flagging these?

The errors are reported by my own VScode extension. I will deploy it for free to our FoxPro community in future. The extension is in progress and I will implement more and more VFP functionality into it.
If you want, I can share the VSIX file for your personal use as early version. It will be helpful, because I can only check the extension on my code base. So you can report issues or ideas.

Sure would love to check it out. Would be useful to compile all code and see dependencies.

FWIW there's a Thor tool that checks for RETURNs in places they don't belong.
