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.

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: 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. In some cases, users have entered the name of the file being initialized after the INITIALIZE command keyword, but this message indicates that whatever string you entered after the INITIALIZE command keyword is not the name of the file being initialized.

File manager Response:

File manager response: Correct the command. The most direct response is to correct the command to conform to the proper syntax: that is, remove extraneous strings after the INITIALIZE command keyword.
