M204.0999 Number %variable used for variable-name variable
A FIXED or FLOAT %variable or a numeric special screen or menu item (ROW, COLUMN, PFKEY, ITEMID, or SELECTION) was used to name another %variable through the colon (:) prefix.
For example, if %SALARY were a fixed
variable, a reference to :%SALARY produces this message.
Response: If a variable-name variable is intended, redefine the variable as STRING, or use a different variable that is already a string. Otherwise, remove the initial colon. Retry the request.
