This article was previously published under Q67160 SYMPTOMS
An attempt to enter a value in CodeView fails and CodeView generates
an error message. CodeView versions 4.0x, 4.1, and 4.25 generates one
of the following messages:
CXX0004: Error: syntax error
CAN0004: Error: syntax error
CXX0013: Error: missing operator
CAN0013: Error: missing operator
CodeView versions 3.x generate the following message:
CV1017: syntax error
CAUSE
The value has a leading zero and contains an "8" or a "9". CodeView
treats a value that begins with a zero as an octal value. The error
occurs when the value is not a legal octal value.
RESOLUTION
Remove any leading zeros from a decimal number. To enter a decimal
number without regard to the current input radix, prefix the number
with 0n. To enter a hexadecimal number,
prefix the number with 0x.
