You need 2 periods after your macro, from the looks of things. But I'm not clear on what you are trying to do.
With the single perion, and assuming that &PROMOLIST contains "FLDA" then you will be ending up with "FLDSqqfield". In this case, assuming that "FLDSqqfield" is NOT a logical, then I can see the error you are getting.
With 2 periods it will resolve to FLDA.qqfield

good luck
