Wow, I get fast responses today!

This code is part of a script, which I invoke via @.
The code I posted isn't the original code, I tried to make it more
readable. In the original code, the variables (some_variable, str80
etc.) are defined as system variables via DEFSYSV. I didn't like common
blocks when I wrote the program, so I chose to use global system
variables.

Good idea! I really should have tried this myself.
After some changes (I define the structure in the program, and then,
outside, the system variable) the code now compiles completely, and
works.

Thanks!
