Native VBScript treats '&' followed by octal digits as octal even without an explicit 'o'/'O' prefix, so &10000000 is octal (2097152). Wine only accepted the &O form and raised a syntax error otherwise. A decimal digit (8 or 9) terminating the octal run is an invalid octal digit and raises a syntax error (1002), matching native (&19, &18). -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/11229
