  FUNCTION REVERSE argument length cannot be zero.

  Explanation:  A group consisting solely of a variable-length
  table  was  used as an argument  to REVERSE and  its current
  lowbound was 0.

  User Action:   If this is not the desired result, modify the
  source  program  to  ensure a  valid  argument  or avoid the
  function with an invalid argument.
