Large table won't pass syntax

[Tom Aldridge]

Hi.

I have a table with 1988 lines. As soon as I add a few new lines for a 
new subroutine, the table won't pass syntax, i.e.

Line Number: 542

show("22","1") "\r Uniform Credit Status to:" 
<mid(reducedratehrs,"1","2") <"hours. \r"
 
               ^
Process contains a syntax error at position indicated.

It fails on any mid statements. If I comment out this line, it fails on 
another mid.

Is it related to PFTOKSIZE? I have it at 400000. Increasing it does 
nothing to help.

Thanks in advance for any advise.

P.S. Linux 5.6.03R4. Guess I should upgrade to 5.6.06. Might that fix 
the problem?
