Ooops, wrong diagnosis, problem solved. The problem was in using -foreach i
in 1/10- instead of -foreach i of numlist 1/10- . With the first approach,
1/10 is the first and only element of the list, so D`i'.group==1 is
substituted to D1/10.group==1 , which the parser interprets as D1 divided by
<something>, but the <something> is not interpreted because the variable D1
is not found.
