Try using EVAL %VAR(USER) which will work. %VAR() gets you around the
error when you're using a reserved word.

My, my! This happens even at V5R3. Lucky me: I never saw this until
today.
It's not listed as a reserved word in the RPG manual, and I cannot find
any reserved words mentioned in the docs for STRDBG.
Someone suggested that USER is a reserved word in SQL. I believe it's
reserved in COBOL too... but so what? Curious why that should be an
issue at all, but especially when debugging a non-SQL program.
Sounds like a good time to call the support vendor.

The syntax error occurs in the debugger, not the compiler or run-time.much
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
of use as to why this is a syntax error, or how you are expected toprovide?
solve the problem.

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
takecompileuser in our files not being correct. After running a debug and
displaying the user field was when I saw the syntax error. The
mailingran fine.
Also on the debug line is: EVAL USER
This has worked ok in the past.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
