SYMPTOM(s):
Error 198: ** <program> Could not understand line <number>. (198)
Error 247: ** Unable to understand after -- "<string>". (247)
FIX:
One possible cause could be the placement of your comments. You should always leave at least one space between your code and your comments.
For example, the code:
FOR EACH Customer:
DISPLAY Name.
END.
passes a syntax check. However, if you add a comment and fail to leave a space between your comments and code you receive a syntax error.
The following is an example of bad comment placement:
FOR EACH Customer:
DISPLAY Name.
END./* bad comment placement*/
By adding a space between "END." and "/*bad..." your code passes the syntax check.
The following is an example of proper comments:
FOR EACH Customer: /* Good comment placement*/
DISPLAY Name. /* Good comment placement*/
END. /* Good comment placement*/
