Need a little HP 3000 script help.

[Robert Thwaites]

Ken, something swallowed a quote mark…typically this would suggest that a previous command got its closing “ swallowed up or had a variable that gave an unmatched one.

It's been about 20 years since I wrote an HP3000 script, but it looks like a problem with the continuation character (&).  This is just a flat out guess.  You could try using two & instead of just one.

Hello all, I know this is not an HP list server, but I need help with my job script that runs my Powerhouse Programs.
 
Can anyone tell me why this script would not work on one machine but work fine on another?

!SETVAR CURRTIME RHT("00!HPHOUR",2) &
!              + RHT("00!HPMINUTE",2)
 
When I run the code in a small job by itself it works every time when I run it in the nightly job I get this:

A string operator was expected but none was found. (CIERR 9755) (PARM=-31)

Invalid first character in command name. (CIERR 9090)

I have checked everywhere I can on the web; 

-          Found additional comma’s that were not needed from one site 
-          Changed the variable names to NOT include “HP” in the name according to another site.

 
I have no idea now.
