Problem Note 39961: "ERROR: Parsing error generating code." when indexing an array within a DO-WHILE loop
 |  |  |  |
You might get the following error message when you have a DO-WHILE loop in PROC FCMP or PROC COMPILE:
ERROR: Parsing error generating code.
This problem is known to occur if an array is indexed within a DO-WHILE statement. For example:
do i=1 to N while z[i] <= M;
You can circumvent this problem by indexing the array within the DO-WHILE loop. Here is an example using a dummy variable:
do i=1 to N while z[i] <= M;
temp = z[i];
...
end;
