Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

AN ELEMENT IN THE MACRO INSTRUCTION IS NOT VALID.
 
You included an element in a macro instruction
that is either incorrect or in the wrong order.
For example, the instruction
«SET variable=MID(2,"text",3)» is not valid. The
MID function requires that the first element be a
string name.
 
■ Correct the elements and place them in the
  correct order in the macro function. For
  example, «SET variable=MID("text",2,3)» is
  valid.
