    How to fix this error?

    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.
