Hi John,

2007/2/20, John R. Culleton <john@wexfordpress.com>:
The table runs ok with the headers omitted. There are 8 columns. But
when I add these headers it gives me an error. Here are the headers:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\bTABLEhead
\bTR
\bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD
\bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD
\eTR
 
what do you want with this empty row

\bTR %% ROW 1
\bTD
 
delete this \bTD, there is the \eTD missing and it created a 9th column

\bTD[nc=2,nr=3]  BUY SIGNAL  \eTD
\bTD [nc=2 nr=3]   SELL SIGNAL  \eTD
\bTD [nr=3]   \eTD
\bTD  [nr=3]\$100,000  \eTD
\bTD  [nc=2,nr=3]FULLY INVESTED AT ALL TIMES (BUY \& HOLD)  \eTD
 
if you need a different height for your second row use the table parameters
\setupTABLE[r][2][height=xxx] or in the second row diretly
\bTR[height=xxx] \bTD ... \eTD \eTR

\eTR
\eTABLEhead
-----------------------------------------------------
And here is the error message, relating to a nonexistent (in my
code) } character.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
! Argument of \parseTD has an extra }.

I could reproduce the entire table but it is hundreds of lines.
 
you can use long examples with lots of dummy rows in the following way
 
\bTABLE
\dorecurse{100}{\bTR\bTD text \eTD\eTR}
\eTABLE
