'Can't resolve symbol' error

[rlh145]

I am teaching myself Java by going through a book written for Cobol programmers. I get this 'Can't resolve symbol' error when I try to use this statement":

ErrorMsg setErrorMsg = new ErrorMsg;

The error seems to be pointing to 'ErrorMsg'. Now, I have already defined in the same directory an ErrorMsg class (a file called ErrorMsg.java).

I am not sure what else to do. If more information is needed, let me know and I will post it.

Thanks!
Ralph

You need brackets after ErrorMsg, like this:

ErrorMsg setErrorMsg = new ErrorMsg();
