Hmmmmm.......well jgt, with your enormous contribution to this forum you would have already tried the obvious so this is probably just 'second opinion' rather than a solution.

Octal 174 is the pipe '|' character in most ascii sets, hex 7C, dec 124.

Try using a suitable (hex) editor to find any instances of 7C in the file and whether it finds one on line 277.

Make a backup copy of the file and then delete line 277 and retype it in manually to ensure any hidden/unprintable characters are removed. Do you get the same error? If a hidden character has been removed I would at least expect a different error even if it still doesn't work.

Any make/compiler that reports wrong line numbers by omitting comment lines is about as much use as a chocolate teapot so my opinion is that the error line number would be correct (unless it's inserting some other source file and including the line count in that).

If you look at the code (you didn't post the whole file) do you reckon that the '-' after the '=' is correct? I guess that it's just creating a switch option on a command line.

XmScrollVisible(library call)											     XmScrollVisible(library call)

NAME

       XmScrollVisible -- A ScrolledWindow function that makes an invisible
	descendant of a ScrolledWindow work area visible

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/ScrolledW.h>
       void XmScrollVisible(
       Widget scrollw_widget,
       Widget widget,
       Dimension left_right_margin,
       Dimension top_bottom_margin);

DESCRIPTION

       XmScrollVisible makes an obscured or partially obscured widget or gadget descendant of a ScrolledWindow work area visible. The function re-
       positions the work area and sets the specified margins between the widget and the nearest viewport boundary. The widget's location relative
       to  the	viewport determines whether one or both of the margins must be adjusted. This function requires that the XmNscrollingPolicy of the
       ScrolledWindow widget be set to XmAUTOMATIC.

       scrollw_widget
		 Specifies the ID of the ScrolledWindow widget whose work area window contains an obscured descendant.

       widget	 Specifies the ID of the widget to be made visible.

       left_right_margin
		 Specifies the margin to establish between the left or right edge of the widget and the associated edge  of  the  viewport.   This
		 margin is established only if the widget must be moved horizontally to make it visible.

       top_bottom_margin
		 Specifies  the  margin  to  establish between the top or bottom edge of the widget and the associated edge of the viewport.  This
		 margin is established only if the widget must be moved vertically to make it visible.

       For a complete definition of ScrolledWindow and its associated resources, see XmScrolledWindow(3)
