Conditions that cause this error include:

A variable appears where a constant is expected, or a constant appears where a

variable is expected. Replace variable-name with a constant or variable as required.

A CALL statement passes a value parameter to a procedure that expects a

reference parameter. Replace the parameter indicated by parameter-number with a

reference parameter.

A CODE statement includes indirect branches such as the following. Remove any

indirect branches from the CODE statement.

CODE (BANZ .test1);

!Some code here

test1: CODE (CON @test2);

The following conditions can cause this error:

One or more procedure declarations appear within another procedure declaration.

Either replace the nested procedures with subprocedures or move the nested

procedures outside the encompassing procedure.

The identifier of a procedure declared as a parameter does not appear in the

parameter list. Add the procedure identifier to the parameter list. For example:

PROC myproc (a); !Q is missing from parameter list

INT a;

PROC q; !Q is declared as parameter

BEGIN

!Lots of code

END;
