subscript range ('*') not permitted here (must be at lowest level of data structure) Facility: DEBUG, VMS Debugger Explanation: The debugger does not allow an asterisk as a range in an EXAMINE except as the last index in the array. That is, the memory to examine must be a contiguous region. Unconnected slices of arrays are not allowed. User Action: Remove the asterisk from the expression to examine. Placing the corrected EXAMINE inside a Debugger FOR loop command could provide the functionality needed to do the command as originally desired.
