Invalid delimiter - xxxxxxxx

Explanation

  1. A required delimiter in a DC, DS, or DXD statement is missing or appears where none should be; the error might be any of these:
    • An apostrophe with an address constant.
    • A left parenthesis with a non-address constant.
    • A constant field not started with an apostrophe, left parenthesis, space, or comma.
    • An empty constant field in a DC.
    • A missing comma or right parenthesis following an address constant.
    • A missing subfield right parenthesis in an S-type address constant.
    • A missing right parenthesis in a constant modifier expression.
  2. A parameter in a macro prototype statement was not followed by a valid delimiter: comma, equal sign, or space.
  3. The DBCS option is on, and SO follows a variable symbol without an intervening period.

System action
