Re: Syntax error help

[Tommy.Holden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

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.
