Perhaps it doesn't understand you've started a new "string" of readings?
Yes, you have to separate new branch using 'break' keyword.
Although I'd probably expect "invalid compass reading" if it was trying to parse "2 - - - -" as "tape compass clino". Or something like "too many readings".
A dash is valid compass reading for clino values ± 90 deg, so it was parsed as unspecified compass reading. Martin
