Re: Syntax error help

works fine for me using:

EVAL USER
EVAL %VAR(USER)

both return the value of the variable with no errors. must be a PTF issue
on the system you're on


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Dennis,

Thanks for checking it on yor system.

This also causes the same problem on my 6.1 system.

Duser S 10
/Free
User='FRED';
*INLR=*on;
/End-Free

EVAL and EVAL %VAR() both fail.

Anyone with a 6.1 system care to see if they can get the value of User in
debug on this simple example?

Thanks,

Crispin.

Not sure why user2 would be ambiguous. I tried this on a V5R3 system

and

did not have that result. Everything seems well (if I use %VAR(user) of
course).

Must be a V6 thing?
