Hi.

It's the kind of error that bc gives you if, for example, you have an undeclared variable, or passing something to it that it doesn't understand:

$ echo "scale=1; $X * 3" | bc
(standard_in) 1: parse error

$ echo "scale=3; x 3" | bc
(standard_in) 1: parse error

Thanks Scottn.I will replace all the commands which has bc and try.

Thanks again
