Line continuation marker may only be followed by a carriage return

Scroll Prev Up Next More

This compiler error will occur if there is any text (even comments) after a line continuation marker.

 

For example:

var
    sDateCode 
begin
    sDateCode = IntToStr(n_TokenDay) + ->    // the day
                IntToStr(n_TokenMonth) + ->  // the month 
                IntToStr(n_TokenYear)        // the year
end

If you really must have comments on every line of a multi-line expression, then we suggest that you enclose your comments in {} comment delimiters and place them on each line before the line continuation marker.
