Subject:      SPSS Macro error
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Dear SPSS Listers:
  I am trying to write my first SPSS macro with v. 13.0 for Windows. I got
the following error message:

  >Error # 6839 in column 25.  Text: (
>In a macro expression, a left parenthesis immediately follows an operand.
>This command not executed.

Where do I look for "column 25"?  The message doesn't reference line
numbers, like usual error messages.

Thanks for any help!
Sincerely,

Joe Hoffman
