MSIR.0970

MSIR.0970  Invalid use of 'token' directive: token2

A SOUL statement that includes a directive had been coded incorrectly. The following examples relate to use of the tilda directive within targeted text statements ( audittext, printtext, and tracetext ), which is the only directive for which this message would currently be produced :

• A ~ directive has been coded without a following target expression, enclosed in curly braces, on the same line, in which case the following message is produced:

  MSIR.0970: Invalid use of '~' directive: must be followed by expression on same line

• The target of a ~ directive is an expression including another ~, making the directive unresovable, leading to:

  MSIR.0970: Invalid use of '~' directive: must be followed by non-'~' expression

• A ~ directive has been coded that isn't currently supported, the currently supported directives being ~exprE, ~exprS, ~noCont, ~noEll, ~noExpr, and ~raw. This produces the message:

  MSIR.0970: Invalid use of '~' directive: unsupported directive 'nnnn'

• A ~ directive must be coded following the ~ character, and within curly brackets, otherwise the followig message may be produced:

  MSIR.0970: Invalid use of '~' directive: invalid directive qualifier 'nnnn'
