Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.1x
SYMPTOM(s):
Getting error 3583 and 196 during compile
Unable to understand statement <statement>. (3583)
Error 196: ** <program> Could not understand line <number>. (196)
Unable to understand statement @@<name>. (3583)
** <include name.i> Could not understand line 2. (196)
<procedurename.p> ERROR !!
Using block header/label as @@myblock:
'@' used in a block header/label name will compile in versions 10.0B or lower
'@' used in block header/label name will not compile in version 10.1A or higher
CAUSE:
In 10.1A 4GL annotations were introduced. The syntax for an annotation is
@<annotation name> [(attribute = "value",[attribute = "value"]).
Thus the @ sign is now recognized by the compiler as a keyword.
CAUSE:
Bug# 20060223-010
FIX:
Upgrade to Release 10.1A01 or higher.
If unable to upgrade then the workaround is to replace the '@' special character in the beginning of the block header/label name with a different character.
