...
Let me add to this - the error is probably arising somewhere in your program 
when you refer to "`varlist'" and expect it to be fully expanded into a list of 
variables rather than still being in it's varlist state.   You may want to check 
out the -unab- command to unabbreviate and expand the varlist and place that 
tokenized list in a local macro.
