M204.0305  Subscripts or length specification not allowed

A SOUL %variable that is neither an array nor assigned to a value is found followed by a subscript or length.

A correct example:

%V(5) = '12345'

Invalid examples:

PRINT %V(5)

$SUBSTR(%V(5),1,3)

In both of the invalid examples, the 5 refers to a subscript and not to a length.

The compilation continues, but the request is not executed.

Response: Eliminate the %variable length or subscript and retry.
