55.0. "<CONDITION> tag doesn't seem to work" by WAGON::FEELEY () Wed Mar 04 1987 11:17

    I can't get the <condition> tag to work.  I am using SPEC and PLAN
    as conditions; but each time the <condition> tag is reached, I get
    an error message "Argument 1 to tag <IFDEF> is not a valid name"
    
    What do I do to make them valid names?

    If you put a space before or after the SPEC or PLAN in the
    argument list it will be an illegal name:
    
    <condirtion>(spec)     this is ok
    <condition>(spec )    this is not ok
    
    (Well, you DO have to spell the tag correctly, but you
    get the idea...   :-)
    
    was that the problem?

    (spaces  ) ...  Thanks for your quick reply.  That was the problem
    exactly.
    
    When using the LSE, and using the CTRL-K function to delete the
    optional arguments, there is an extra space left, and I left it
    there on all my conditionals.
    
    Thanks again.

55.3Fix for "illegal" names in <CONDITION>VAXUUM::KOHLBRENNERMon Mar 09 1987 15:477
    The field test update will have two fixes.
    
    1. LSE won't leave the extra space in the arg list.
    
    2. THe tag definition for <set_condition> and <condition>
       will give a better error message if you supply a 
       condition-name that is "illegal".
