M204.0185 Illegal use of fieldname variable
Two consecutive percentage signs, which are used to start fieldname variables, are used in an illegal context. If a SOUL statement produced the message, compilation continues but the request is not executed. If an IFFIND specification produced the message, the function returns a return code of 4.
Response: Check the statement(s) or IFFIND specification for proper use of field name variables, as described in Field name variables or Using field name variables.
