Re: Syntax error help

Hi Dennis,

The syntax error occurs in the debugger, not the compiler or run-time.
I threw together a simple program to test with:

D userid s 10a inz(*user)
D user s 10a
c move userid user
c user dsply
c eval *inlr = *on

Compiles and runs without error. Shows the expected result.

however, if you go into the green-screen STRDBG debugger, set a
breakpoint on the DSPLY line, and when it hits that breakpoint, type
"eval user" (without the quotes) it says:

"Syntax error occurred."

Hitting help shows that the error is CPF7E15. It doesn't provide much
of use as to why this is a syntax error, or how you are expected to
solve the problem.

What is the message ID of this syntax error? I'm quite confused because you
say this compiles OK and that it has a syntax error. On what command does
the syntax error occur? What additional information can you provide?

I don't understand your comment below about debug at all.

I am getting a syntax error on the following field 'USER':
C move userid user

User is a field in our files. We just started having a problem with
user in our files not being correct. After running a debug and
displaying the user field was when I saw the syntax error. The compile
ran fine.

Also on the debug line is: EVAL USER

This has worked ok in the past.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
