Pete,

That's the problem - writeline() expects a variable, which it can change.
Just add either the VALUE or CONST keyword to tline and all will be well.

I get a compile error that points to a problem with this code (presumably)

WriteLine has this prototype and PI

write heading;
overflow = *off;

MsgTxt = tline;

write detail;

P writeline E

I *think* it is complaining the the WriteLine procedure can't take a
variable but all the procedure does is fill a variable in the output
file. The idea is to write messages to the printer file about errors
and warnings. Can I not pass a variable parameter in this case?
