Library /sys$common/syshlp/basichelp.hlb Compile time errors, FOUND  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  ERROR - The program contains a syntax error.  BASIC displays the  item
  where  the  error  was  detected, then displays one or more items that
  make more sense in that context.  The compilation  continues  so  that
  other  errors  may  be  detected.   The  actual  program  line remains
  unchanged and no object file is produced.  Examine the line  carefully
  to  discover the error.  Change the program line to correct the syntax
  error.
