As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Yes - it worked to remove the single quotes, but why didn't mine?
The RPG
reference says that I can use either, and if it has a period, it
_must_ be a
character literal. It also worked to put single quotes around capital
letter prefix. Single quotes around lowercase letters must be
invalid.
RPG, like COBOL, is an upper-case language. Although both ILE variants
tolerate code entry in lower-case the compiler mono-cases everything
not in quotes (single (i.e., apostrophes) for RPG and either single or
double for COBOL depending on compiler options).
By quoting a lower-case prefix you are creating an invalid RPG name
(e.g., "orNAME", "orADDR", etc.) thus the compiler is quite correct
when it complains about the parameter for PREFIX.
