Simple M.A. Summing Code - Won't compile in MC

I read where Big Mike liked using 6 common Moving Averages and then summing them to plot just 1 combined moving average. I wrote some simple code for it, but MC won't compile it. I get the error message:

errLine 13, errColumn 0, errLineEnd 13, errColumnEnd 0
causal study: (Function)


Here is my code:

inputs: Price(Close),L1(9),L2(34),L3(100),L4(20);
variables: s1(0),s2(0),s3(0),s4(0),s5(0),s6(0),SumAll(0);

s1=AverageFC(Price,L1);
s2=AverageFC(Price,L2);
s3=AverageFC(Price,L3);
s4=XAverage(Price,L4);
s5=XAverage(Price,L2);
S6=Xaverage(Price,L3);

SumAll=(s1+s2+s3+s4+s5+s6)/6

if SumAll>0 then begin
Plot1(SumAll,"All",White,default,1);
end;


What have I done wrong? Thanks for any help.

I don't use mc (yet), but do you need a semi-colon after SumAll=(s1+s2+s3+s4+s5+s6)/6;

Thank you, vegasfoster. I originally had that in, but in messing around with the code it somehow got left out.

But it still won't compile. I now get the error message:

errLine 0, errColumn 0, errLineEnd 0, errColumnEnd 0
causal study: (Function).

You seem to have created it as a Function. It should be an indicator.

Thanks philloo and Big Mike. Mike, I clicked on 'New', checked the 'Indicator' box, pasted the code in, compiled it, and it worked. Thanks for your help.

EDIT: It turns out that MC does not support the "Switch" statement in the code. I have used Switch instead of If..Then to speed up the code in TS, but it looks like MC does not have that capability! Ouch!

Brett

Old below:
I have another code set that works great in TS, but transfer over to MC and I get the compile error - Causal study: (Function).
I have reinstalled... no work.
I have reloaded with making sure Indicator is checked... no work.
I have tried commenting all of the different lines and compiling... no work.
Any ideas?
