Amper Variable multiplication [SOLVED]

Hello,
I am reading a saved file like this:

-READ MYTABLE5 &PAY_END_DT.A17 &PAY_BEGIN_DT.A17 &MAX_COUNT.I10

The last variable (&MAX_COUNT) needs to be used in multiplication like this:

WFTES/D15.4=(WORKEDHRS / ((80)*(&MAX_COUNT));

However, I keep getting this error:

0 ERROR AT OR NEAR LINE 125 IN PROCEDURE ADHOCRQ FOCEXEC *
(FOC262) UNBALANCED PARENTHESES

Can anybody tell me how I can solve this problem. Thank you!

The answer is in the error! Count your left hand parentheses and then count the right hand ones - difference?
