If the %SYMDEL function is used within a macro and the argument is a
macro variable, the following error message will be issued:

   ERROR: Macro variable name & must start with a letter or underscore.

There is currently no circumvention to this problem. The %SYMDEL
function must be moved outside the macro or the hotfix must be applied.
