There are a couple of things to be aware of when working across
platforms with Panorama.

One is that on Windows, you must , limit your procedures to Functions
and Commands that are known to version 4.0, not 5.0 or 5.5.

The harder part is that procedures compiled on version 5.0 or 5.5
often need to be re-compiled on Windows before they can run properly
or you will get the errors you're noting.

It's a very tedious process, but I open and compile every procedure in
a database after moving it from Mac to Windows. If you have used any
5.0 or later Functions or Commands, even if you have them running
under a conditional allowance for platforms, they will not compile.

I've given up working with Windows since it limited my ability to move
forward on the Mac development and maintaining two versions was just
too complicated.
