As it is, it should work. The error is not always on the line that it is
complaining about. Syntax errors such as missing " of ) or } etc. will cause
perl to report errors further down the script. Did you check the rest of the
script? Or, if you want to send your script we can look at it.

|Subject: what is wrong with this simple format?
|
|
|$date = "somedate";
|
|format AREPORT =
|--------------------------------------------------------
|@>>>>>>>>>
|$date
|--------------------------------------------------------
|.
|
|
|Im getting the following error:
|
|Format not terminated in file ./asts_report.pl at line 39, next char ^?
|Execution of ./areport.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
|
|Line 39 is where the dot is (which should terminate the format
|if im not
|wrong).
|This is with Perl version 4.
