RE: m4: Unable to include file --urgent help required

[Pratibha Chelekar]

Thanks Gary for your quick response. I could not access the snipped
common.m4 file which you had sent.

I could finally get rid of "can't open file" error message. Now getting
below error message.

m4:ZF01.m4:common.m4:17 bad macro name

Stationery mismatch in letter ZF01.

Any idea why am I getting stationary mismatch error?  Let me know if you
need any more information.

For the include macro to see the parameter you're trying to pass it,
you can't put a space between the macro name and the opening paren.

But you changed the quotes to [[ and ]], so now m4 is trying to find a
file with apostrophe symbols in its name.
