The AIPS adverb VERSION has been given the value 'MYAREA' which is a
variable not known to your login.  Enter

VERSION = ' '

and all will be well.  The VERSION adverb implements the option of
having your own tasks for aips to run - or variations on the standard
tasks.  You probably do not need this at present.

This value MYAREA does occur in some example in the CookBook
illustrating the use of this option.
