                      values and the range can remain.  Otherwise, a range is not
                      allowed for this type so the possibilities must be listed
                      explicitly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1259     MESSAGE      A number range can consist of only two values (SDERR 1259)

                      :  val2 :  val3).

         ACTION       Collapse the values into a range of two values or use several

                      name.  They are not allowed as they confuse the substitution
                      process.

         ACTION       Change the name of the indicated parameter to remove all wild
                      card characters.

         CAUSE        The indicated parameter name in the macro header is not a valid
                      name for a parameter.
