Issue with syntax error in profile

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Having an issue with syntax error in a profile after a consultant upgraded our production system.

I think it is most likely a missing " but I cannot find the syntax that is missing per line 67 in the error output.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

.profile[67]: 0403-057 Syntax error: `"' is not matched.

I also didn't find an error either in line 67. Close scrutiny of code lead to nothing. But sometimes error goes on retrying .

You can also analyse the work directory logs and put the same so that this can be looked upon from different perspective. Same issue happened with me, not exactly like this but after comparing the same file with another environment, i figured out that an "extra DOT" was present in it which was leading to a "Misleading" error.

Hope this helps,

is anything wrong with below script?

+67	. $HOME/.j2eeenv_`hostname`.sh

Sunil, Good catch!  This fixed the issue.  I VI'd this script and it contained a syntax error.  Issue is resolved.

I can't see an error either.

It might be an unprintable character.

Check with od command.
