I forgot that there should be a semi-colon after 0.

numeric output var L_SSSBB = 0; //PreviousPay.L_SSSEB;

End the statement with a semi-colon if the original statement had a semi-colon.

Hope this helps.

Try commenting out 'PreviousPay.L_SSSEB'
by replacing it with '0 // PreviousPay.L_SSSEB'

This will result in:
numeric output var L_SSSBB = 0 //PreviousPay.L_SSSEB;

Do this for all the initializations using PreviousPay the save it by clicking on 'click me'.

After this, you can uncomment the initialization by removing //, resulting in:

numeric output var L_SSSBB = PreviousPay.L_SSSEB;

The reason for this is that (current version of) the script editor cannot identify the new variable 'L_SSSEB' until you have it successfully parsed first by 'click me'. Once it has been identified as a new variable (by 'click me'), you can use 'PreviousPay' with the variable it already has identified.

this is the message i get when i click the edit & cloick me on the payscript editor: (I copied and pasted the new script editor is this correct?)
Column 'L_SSSEB' does not belong to table PayPrev.
