Why does JAM STAPL Player fail to program an Intel® Stratix® 10 device with syntax error reported?

Description

The following error message might be seen when using the JAM STAPL Player to program .jam file for Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA:

Error on line xxxxx: syntax error

Program terminated.

Elapsed time = xx:xx:xx

Resolution

JAM STAPL Player can't support the syntax of DRSCAN-CAPTURE-COMPARE-MASK statement in the .jam file. To work around it, break it into three statements as the following example:

Change from:

DRSCAN J24, A29[(J24-1)..0], CAPTURE J17[(J24-1)..0], COMPARE J16[(J24-1)..0], J19[(J24-1)..0], V40;

To:

DRSCAN J24, A29[(J24-1)..0], CAPTURE J17[(J24-1)..0];V40 = 0;IF ((INT(J17[(J24-1)..0]) & INT(J19[(J24-1)..0])) == (INT(J16[(J24-1)..0]) & INT(J19[(J24-1)..0]))) THEN V40 = 1;
