        [Leif Svalgaard]  Most of the time the compiler will tell you
        at the bottom of the listing (wrksplf to see them). Unfortunately
        for you, when the errors have to do with parameter lists or
        operand lists, you don't get any info. but, the fact that you
        don't get anything simply means that you should check
        parameters and operand lists.

        I have a program that runs a PC and checks the syntax of
        an MI-program with much better and nicer error detection
        that the AS/400 compiler. I could send you that if you
        want. There is one problem with it, namely that it is rather
        old and MI has evolved a bit, so some of the newer stuff
        are flagged as errors. One day when I have time (???)
        I'll fix that...
