Troubleshooting


Problem

Getting XPAE003I and XPAM001I syntax errors when submitting a process. (SCI96180)

Symptom

XPAE003I
XPAM001I
Illegal keyword? <name_of_keyword> found.
Syntax errors found while parsing command or process
Error: Illegal keyword &KEYWD found.

Cause

An IF statement was coded incorrectly in the process, like:

IF (step = )
stepname RUN TASK etc.....
EIF

The correct syntax for an IF statement is:

IF (step = ) THEN? ? ? <---- add a 'THEN' here.
stepname RUN TASK etc.....
EIF
Cannot use reserved words such as retain for a process name.

Resolving The Problem

Correct the process syntax OR Change the process name from "retain" to something else.? Example of correct process name: submit myproc process snode=nodename snodeid=(UID,PSWD)
