Description Emerson Cargnin CLA 2004-05-27 13:54:01 EDT 
The following code show the error at the second line (_codSituacao is
underlined), although with the message "insert : to complete the expression"

this.escopo="S".equalsIgnoreCase(ehAtiva)?
codSituacao=_codSituacao;

maybe it's not possible to the parser to know that codSituacao is not part of
the expression...

The position of the error are provided by JDT/Core. Moving...
Comment 2 Olivier Thomann CLA 2004-05-27 15:32:47 EDT 
The question mark means that the expression is read as a conditional expression.
expr ? expr1 : expr2 

And indeed there is no colon (':'). The code is syntactically incorrect and in
this case the compiler tries to give a good error message according to the
parser rules. So codSituacao=_codSituacao is seen as expr1 in the syntax above.

Ok to close?
Comment 3 Philipe Mulet CLA 2004-05-31 18:29:26 EDT 
An assignment is a valid expression, and can thus be interpreted to be part of 
the conditional operator on the line above.
