WANCHO@Simtel20.ARPA (08/03/84)
From: "Frank J. Wancho" <WANCHO@Simtel20.ARPA> Dave, The error code is documented in the MAC manual: S - Syntax error: the fields of this statement are ill-formed and cannot be processed properly; may be due to invalid characters or delimiters which are out of place. Both ASM and MAC share common roots, and, for some reason, this description was left out of the ASM manual. It usually means there is some invisible character in the line, such as a NULL, and the fix is to delete the line and retype it. Note that it is possible for the line either before or after the flagged line to actually have the offending character. So, it may save some time to simply retype all three lines... --Frank
