M204.2944

M204.2944  Should have end of INITIALIZE command but instead found: token

This message indicates that the format of the INITIALIZE command as entered does not conform to the command syntax.

User Response: Correct the command, either by simply removing string and any following strings or else by correcting the command to conform to the proper syntax.

File Manager Response: If the cmd in the M204.2944 text is INITIALIZE, this message indicates that the format of the INITIALIZE command as entered does not conform to the syntax of:

INITIALIZE [KEEPDEF[S]]

Prior to version 7.5, it was possible to place any text on the INITIALIZE command, and if it was anything other than KEEPDEF[S], it was ignored. In version 7.5, the syntax of the INITIALIZE command is checked for strict correctness.

Version introduced: 7.5
