  Text:         Missing left parenthesis
 
  Explanation:  You have specified an intrinsic function which requires
                parameters, but have not preceded the parameter list with
                a left parenthesis.
 
  Resolution:   Check the format of the intrinsic function and ensure
                that there is a matching left parenthesis for each right
                parenthesis.
