DAY 005: ERDEV$
#1
Umm...

Our first mystery command!  I honestly have no idea what it is, where it came from, who added it to the keyword list or in the IDE, or what the heck it's supposed to do for us.  Checking the wiki, I found no entry for it..

Our word of the day is based off the syntax highlighter in the IDE, and for some reason there's both an ERDEV and a ERDEV$ which get highlighted as a keyword.

Anyone with any idea of what this is, where it comes from, and when/how we'd make use of it, kindly feel free to speak up on it.  As it is, I'm afraid that this time even the mighty Steve has to hang his head in shame -- I have no idea what the heck this beast is!!

Code: (Select All)
Print erdev$

Print erdev

The above works.  I don't see where it does anything but print a blank line and then a zero, but it *does* highlight both of those as keywords.

Let's see who can solve the mystery of this one for us!
