If you don't put commas between function parameters, don't close all quotation marks, or you use mismatched quotation marks, you will receive the following error:
To correct this, you must review the function syntax and make any necessary changes.
For example, one cause is not placing commas between parameters:
BAD: ADDPAY(cocrse,nmid"pydate") - you must place commas between each parameter
GOOD: ADDPAY(cocrse,nmid,"pydate")
Another cause is using mismatched quotation marks:
BAD: "pydate' - you must use the same quotation marks around a function element.
GOOD: "pydate" or 'pydate'
A third cause is not using different pairs of quotation marks when necessary:
BAD: "pyamt= "12.00" " - if you need to use two sets of quotation marks in a function, you must use different pairs, i.e. double around the outer element and single around the inner element.
GOOD: . "pyamt= '12.00' " or 'pydate= "12.00" '
