C.1.34. Error 38 - Invalid template or pattern.

Explanation:

A special character that is not allowed within a parsing template (for example, "%") has been found, or the syntax of a variable pattern is incorrect (that is, no symbol was found after a left parenthesis). This message is also issued if you omit the WITH subkeyword in a PARSE VALUE instruction.

The associated subcodes are:

001: Incorrect PARSE template detected at "column_position".
002: Incorrect PARSE position detected at "column_position".
003: PARSE VALUE instruction requires WITH keyword.
900: message.
