Message type: E = Error
Message class: 28 - Configuration
Message number: 086
Message text: Formal parameter &1 not valid for: &2
The syntax check found an error in entry &V2& for a table or function.
Formal parameter &v1& is invalid.
The cursor shows which table/function entry is incorrect.
A table is referred to by the keyword TABLE, the language-independent
table name, and a list of arguments, each consisting of <Formal
parameter = Arg>, for example:
TABLE TEST_TAB(COLOR='red',
PRICE=PRICE_1)
COLOR and PRICE are formal parameters of the table, 'red' is a constant
and PRICE_1 is a characteristic-specific variable.
A function is identified by the keyword FUNCTION. The other entries are
the same as for a table, for example:
FUNCTION TEST_FUN(COLOR='red',
PRICE=PRICE_1)
One formal parameter you entered is invalid. Check the formal parameter
and correct the error.
