QTP Error - Bracketed options are not enclosed in one of (),{ }, [], or <>.

The usual command file to execute Qtp on the HP3000 contains a pointer to
the Orakill library regardless of the presence of Orakill on the machine. In
MPE parlance an "XL" is an execution time library. That's the mention of
Orakill that you're seeing in the snippet of stuff from the original message
below. Yes, Orakill was once available on the HP3000 -- but it couldn't
compete with the native database so it packed up and went home. But the
Cognos-supplied command files still include a reference to the library.

Its just that the error message makes references to oracle, and the syntax
itemx(n) refers to the nth occurrence of the array named itemx. It might be
that the item itemx is part of a ksam file but I am only offering a
suggestion :)
