RE: Syntax error help

Got support on line and you are correct 'NAME' is a reserved word in STRDBG. Working on fixing it now.

Subject: RE: Syntax error help

When I compile there are no errors. The 'EVAL USER' shows up on the
'Debug' line and when I place the cusser on the field is where the
'Syntax error' displays.

It acts like USER is a reserved word within STRDBG. For example, if you
type:

EVAL EVAL

EVAL QUAL

Or EVAL with other debug commands, you will get the same complaint, same
CPF7E15 error, et cetera.

If this is a reserved word we are going to have to change a lot of
files and programs.

Well, the fact that the debug tool doesn't display a particular variable isn't necessarily cause for mass change to your programs. That is, unless the value of USER is critical to the debug process and cannot be determined through other means. I wouldn't change anything yet. Although I haven't landed on a solution - I did give it the old college try and haven't quite given up yet - there may be some help from IBM or your service vendor on this. I'd recommend calling for help.

Do let us know what you find.
