Guy,
Ver.7.0 is a real "Jethro" when it comes to spelling. It doesn't like to
have variable names split onto more than one line. It may help to change
your variable statements to:
COMHX03:= ( FmlVar("COMH-MXX","COMHMXX") -
Ref(FmlVar("COMH-MXX","COMHMXX") , -3 )) / 3;
This may seem insignificant but I've had formulas that would only work this
way.
