Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program data sequence, according to IEEE
488.2, 10.7.2, could not be executed due to a syntax error within the macro definition (see
IEEE 488.2, 10.7.6.3).
Error −272 Macro execution error
Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program data sequence could not be executed
due to some error in the macro definition (see IEEE 488.2, 10.7.6.3).

example, the label was too long, the same as a common command header, or contained
invalid header syntax.
