You cannot call a method on a basic type, such as int, long, double, or decimal, in a conditional compilation block, or an enumerated type. For example, this code generates the compiler error “C0316: Function scope cannot be of type int”:
string s
#if defined PBDOTNET then
int i
s = i.ToString() // generates error
MessageBox("String", s)
#end if
Calling the ToString method on an enumerated type produces the same error. PowerBuilder allows methods to be called only on classes and interfaces.
