Syntax error caused by using different version of IDL

Question

I am new in IDL. When I use IDL version 8, my program run successfully. But when I use IDL Version 7.1 I get a syntax error that you can see below.

How can I fix this issue?

IDL> .com schwmodfirstiter_box.pro

   str +=pars[i].name+strn(p[i],format='('+pars[i].sformat+')')
                                       ^
  % Syntax error.
 At: /home/behzad/schwmodfirstiter_box.pro, Line 5
 % 1 Compilation error(s) in module SCHMAKEPARSTRING.

    str +=pars[i].name+strn(p[i],format='('+pars[i].sformat+')')
                                        ^
% Syntax error.
 At: /home/behzad/schwmodfirstiter_box.pro, Line 14
% 1 Compilation error(s) in module SCHMAKEPARSTRING0.

  mlstr=pars[0].name+strn(ml[k],format='('+pars[0].sformat+')')+'/'
                                    ^
       % Syntax error.

Hi, this is strn code (https://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftp/pro/misc/strn.pro) — Bezi, Apr 15 '18 at 16:06

strn.pro is not part of IDL but is likely from https://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftp/pro/misc/strn.pro

Make sure you have this procedure in your !Path and can compile it.
