A few hints
Del the superflouis separator " ; " at the end of the var call, since MSK might
expect you to give the next call straight thereafter, but which isn't there.
Then place each varaible into their own section using () parenthisises or brackets:
CDL:=(X01)+(X02)+(X03)+(X04)+(X05)+(X06);
CDL
The parenths will force MSK to first calculate each var indepently + separately, and
only then make the next step, the later on finishing addition calc.
Basicaly too, you are then here also tempering the program's "calc speed",
which might have got your calc to go haywire, ending up in nowhereland.
Should the above indicator fail to calc succesfully, then test each var separately
by { } commenting out the others:
CDL:=(X01) {+(X02)+(X03)+(X04)+(X05)+(X06)};
CDL
This should succesfully calc+plot the ind based on the first variable X01.
Continue the testcalc by one by one adding the next following var to the ind:
CDL:=(X01)+(X02) {+(X03)+(X04)+(X05)+(X06)};
CDL
This should succesfully calc+plot the ind now based on the first two
vars X01 and X02.
Should MSK choke on either one of the vars, then immediatly you will now
know the wrongdoer.
