Parsing error description less than useful

[Tseug]

Is there a method or upgrade that makes the error validation display a bit more useful? 

When I get an error that is "before or near position 537" - that's fairly vague.  Cognos knows there is a problem - why can't it be more specific?

According to Cognos error messages have been worked on compared to the early 8 versions. I find error handling pretty good when SQL errors occur, or in other expressions. When Cognos indicates a position in the error it is usually quite easy to find the offending cause..
