What sort of condition might raise a Syntax Error 98 (Execution Error)?

The line of code in question was:

   Call 'IDs' .dir.climate'/admins.dat,'.dir.climate'/auditors.dat, ...

.... where the local environment variable ".dir.climate" contained a 
fully-qualified directory name. There were three other files on the end 
of the list above, but all of the file references were valid (and 
anyway, an error there would generate a completely different error).

The REXX is IBM Object REXX under Linux. The  same program fails in the 
same way every day, but had been running four weeks ago (so it may be a 
data-dependant problem).

Hi Swifty,

do you see a subcode or text with the error?  98 is a bit of a catch-
all.

I'll add the  code to report it. At the moment my code is using just the 
RC and errortext(rc). Until now I haven't been clever enough to generate 
a complicated error. :-)

It was 98.918 No active condition available for propagate

I had a "Signal on error" and an "Error:" routine:

Error: Raise propagate

.... but then unfortunately I did a: "Call error"

I confess that I'm only just starting to use "propagate" so I'm making a 
lot of silly errors like this.
