CAUSE:
This is a known issue.
An include file refers to a non-existent file. For example:
{firstInclude.i
&parm1 = "something"
&parm2 = "{nonExistentFile}"
&parm3 = "somethingElse"
}
It may also be the case that the "&" sign was forgotten before a preprocessor symbol. For example:
{firstInclude.i
&parm1 = "something"
&parm2 = "{preprocessorName}"
&parm3 = "somethingElse"
}
In this case, the compiler will try to look for file "preprocessorName" (which does not exist) in the PROPATH, while what was really meant is "{&preprocessorName}".
FIX:
Ensure that all references between braces {} are to existing files and that the "&" sign was not forgotten for any of the preprocessor names.
