Illegal or invalid syntax in code.. on a valid function (i think)

Jorde_V

define_function sinteger billy_jean_is_crazy(char jeans, char billies[], _bji_do_something kab_data) {
    long bj;
    sinteger bb;
    
    bj = 2;
    bb = string_to_variable(kab_data, billies, bj);
    
    if(bb <> 0) {
	xmen(devi, you, "'you #!@U%!*@',itoa(jeans),', haha ',itoa(bb)");
    }
    return bb;
}

I get the following:

----------------- Starting Netlinx Compile - Version[2.5.2.20] [12-23-2009 13:48:35] ---------------------
C:\amx\module.axs
ERROR: C:\amx\module.axs(1031): C10201: Syntax error; Illegal or invalid syntax in code
C:\amx\module.axs - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

strangly enough if I write any other function it does work (so I'm sure it's in the actual function, not in the functions above or anything)

the line it highlights is sinteger bb; curiously enough it highlights long bj; when I move the opening { down.

It seriously has me puzzled. I hope someone here can help me figure it out.

btw this is what it says in the help file for define_function

DEFINE_FUNCTION [<return type>]<name>[(<param1>,<param2>,...<parameN>)]
{
(*statements *)
}

define_function sinteger billy_jean_is_crazy(char jeans, char billies[], [b]_bji_do_something kab_data[/b])

Are these supposed to be two separate parameters, or is "_bji_do_something" a structure?

it's a structure yes

Edit: and that reminded me to check the bloody structure, and obviously I made a little typo there xD. (As the japanese would say: '馬鹿!')

Have you tried adding the keyword LOCAL_VAR to the variable definition?

define_function sinteger billy_jean_is_crazy(char jeans, char billies[], _bji_do_something kab_data) {
    LOCAL_VAR long bj;
    LOCAL_VAR sinteger bb;
    
    bj = 2;
    bb = string_to_variable(kab_data, billies, bj);
    
    if(bb <> 0) {
	xmen(devi, you, "'you #!@U%!*@',itoa(jeans),', haha ',itoa(bb)");
    }
    return bb;
}
