I copied your pattern file to "test.pattern" without the comment at the bottom 
and added a
comment at the top to remind me what it is next time I see it. Then I loaded it 
with no
problem and tested it:

 view "PATLOAD":"test.pattern","PATCODE":"GREEK"
 f i=1:1:255 s c=$c(i) w !,i,?5,c?1a,c?1u,c?1l,c?1n,c?1p,c?1c,?15,c

That gave me an error "Current pattern table has no characters with pattern 
code P", which
suggests that you need to define PATCODE C as well.

I put in some entries for codes C and P and the test ran to completion.

Set up your environment variables after debugging your pattern file and use the 
view
commands until then.
