RE: Scan Error.... Help..!

[Scott Mildenberger <Smildenber@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

AB,

What line is the error on?  It is probably on one of the %subst, what is the
value of n?  If it was zero I believe you might see this because the first
%subst length parm would have a value of -1.  See if this helps point you in
the right direction.
