Can someone explain why this doesn't work?

I keep getting these errors:
Syntax Error. (compile error &h02) in pkg:/source/Searchscreen.brs(224)
Syntax Error. (compile error &h02) in pkg:/source/Searchscreen.brs(225)
Syntax Error. (compile error &h02) in pkg:/source/Searchscreen.brs(226)
Syntax Error. (compile error &h02) in pkg:/source/Searchscreen.brs(227)
Syntax Error. (compile error &h02) in pkg:/source/Searchscreen.brs(228)
Line 224 is the "if IsHD() then" statement.
init_show_feed_item() creates the associative array and StremQualities is an roarray inside of the associative array just like the videoplayer example.
IsHD() returns a Boolean.
Function IsHD()
di = CreateObject("roDeviceInfo")
if di.GetDisplayType() = "HDTV" then return true
return false
End Function



Function searchfeedparse(xml As Object, feed As Object) As Object

showCount = 0

for each curShow in showList

'for now, don't process meta info about the feed size

Re: Can someone explain why this doesn't work?

Maybe it's a typo in the previous line StrealUrl

Re: Can someone explain why this doesn't work?

No, I'm pulling StrealUrl from a database and it's mispelled in the database. So it has to be spelled that way to work.
I don't have access to database to change it, that's why I've just worked around it.

Re: Can someone explain why this doesn't work?

Have you tried testing with different stuff, like

        if IsHD() then
'item.StreamQualities.Push("HD")
? "Roku is HD"
else
'item.StreamQualities.Push("SD")
? "Roku is SD"
end if

What happens in the console if you simply type
? "IsHD() result " IsHD()

Maybe try adding "AS BOOLEAN" after "FUNCTION IsHD()"
Maybe Brightscript doesn't like "END IF" after a "THEN" and would only prefer "ENDIF"
Also, you might try declaring item.StreamQualities = [] beforehand. When I try similar code without doing that, I get an error "Interface not a member of BrightScript Component"

Re: Can someone explain why this doesn't work?

I already have StremQualities set to an empty roarray tat's why I'm using the push().
I can use the" if then end if" in other parts of the code and it doesn't seem to matter whether its "end if" or "endif".
And the IsHD() works at other parts of the code just fine. I've been using it for months.

Re: Can someone explain why this doesn't work?

What about the test with the printouts, did that work? I think I'm out of ideas. I would try to narrow it down with different tests, very often the syntax line error is really due to some other line, sometimes far away even. Could be some other IF THEN END combo much earlier that didn't add up right. Or it's something to do with the item.StreamQualities.Push("HD/SD"), so you want to try to rule that out by testing substitutes, etc. At least that's how I approach strange errors.

Re: Can someone explain why this doesn't work?

I've looked through the entire package and all the "if then endif " combos add up. I can try the printouts, but it just doesn't make sense because if I take out lines 224- 228 the (the if then endif block) it works just fine...which should mean I'm doing something wrong right? But I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...

Where's your End If ? Maybe it's in your code but it's not in the original post.
