Re: net.data error Incorrect symbol

["Mike Eovino" <meovino@xxxxxxxxx>]

We get that error occasionally, and it's pretty tough to diagnose
exactly what is going wrong.  We find that if we make a simple change
to the macro (add a few blank spaces somewhere) and save the file, it
usually takes care of the problem.

I think (and I'm just guessing here) that there is probably a problem
with the tokenized macro in the macro cache.  Changing the last
modified date/time will force the db2www cgi program to reread and
re-tokenize the macro.

Like I said, that's just a guess as to why this works, but regardless,
it generally solves the issue.
