Hi!
I think that the solution depends very strongly
on the exact error messages you get, so we'd need
those (and the whole code).
And, as others have mentioned, the line that
triggers the syntax error is not necessarily the
one that needs to be corrected. I once had an errant
period in some source code, and the syntax error
was triggered about 30 lines of code later.

Rusben, you might want to put a special attention on the 1st error... if
you make a mistake, let's say you write END IF instead of ENDIF, you
will have several errors later in your file... like at the declaration
of your pro/function.

No, no maximum number that I know about.

We would have to know more about the error messages that
are generated to even make a guess.

Muy divertido! En solo una semana pude leer un periodico!
Y las profesoras estuvieron muy, muy bonita. :-)
Cheers,
