  Array + macro syntax (Message 1 to 3 of 3)

I can't see where I go wrong.  This is supposed to be an array
of xyz vectors.  The error message is:

File Context (5 lines):
    xsp_point
Parse Error: Insufficent [sic] number of initializers

POV source is:

#macro xsp_point(xspc, zspc)
    <xspc, 0, zspc>
#end    
#declare Track_path = array[4] {
    xsp_point( 147.5762, 144.0371),   // Error points here.
    xsp_point( 152.7021, 96.0146),   
    xsp_point( 171.1753, 60.6523),   
    xsp_point( 219.02, 59.0303)
}

This works:


#macro xsp_point(xspc, zspc)

   <xspc, 0, zspc>

#end // macro xsp_point


#declare Track_path =
   array[4] {
     (xsp_point( 147.5762, 144.0371)),
     (xsp_point( 152.7021, 96.0146)),
     (xsp_point( 171.1753, 60.6523)),
     (xsp_point( 219.02, 59.0303))
   }
