I think you need to change the line:
BROWSE * FROM .vbtable
to
BROWSE * FROM &vbtable

Bruce,
 
You may want to build the command
 
SET VAR vbtable TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vbtable = .%1
SET VAR vCommandLine TEXT = ('BROWSE * FROM '+.vbtable)
&vCommandLIne
CLEAR VAR vbtable
RETURN

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Simple command syntax error

All:
 
Table 'pksdatatest' exists, in good shape.
 
If I run 'BROWSE * FROM pksdatatest' ... at the R> prompt, I get what you'd expect.
 
If I run 'RUN lookit.rmd USING pksdatatest' ... at the R> prompt, I get the error:
 
   'Syntax is incorrect for the command BROWSE (2045)'
 
Lookit.rmd:
 
   SET VAR vbtable TEXT = NULL
   SET VAR vbtable = .%1
   BROWSE * FROM .vbtable
   CLEAR VAR vbtable
   RETURN
 
Show Var verifies that:
 
   vbtable = pksdatatest
   %1-0 = pksdatatest
 
TRACE bombs on the BROWSE line as well.
 
Thoughts?
 
Bruce
