    How to fix this error?

    Unlike standard symbols, such as <(>&DATE&<)>, whose values are
    automatically defined by SAPscript, text symbols must be defined by the
    user. This is carried out with the <H>DEFINE</> command in the
    SAPscript editor. The name of the text symbol can be freely defined.
    Example: A text symbol is to be defined with the name <H>TEXTSYMBOL</>.
    The following command line is used:
    <H>/: DEFINE TEXTSYMBOL = 'Text symbol'</>
    If the text symbol is now used in the text, SAPscript inserts the text
    which has been defined for it when the text is output. The sentence
    <H>This is a <(>&TEXTSYMBOL&<)>.</>
    is output as
    <H>This is a text symbol.</>
    If text symbols are used in the text before their values have been
    defined, they are not replaced in the text.
