Given-Find to Block Solve

Hello, I am tasked with updating our programs from MathCAD 15 to Prime 7.0. The below was a Given-Find statement in 15 and has worked for many years just fine. Now Prime 7.0 has changed to SolveBlock and is flagging R' in the constant as "R' has multiple definitions, you must specify a label to select the definition that you want".

Note the 'guess values' were added to the solve block in hopes that would solve the issue, it didn't work, since the new block did not have a guess value upon conversion

OMG Werner. Prime is so picky. I went to a different program that uses the same equation and updated there with no problems. Copied that into the original program and now it's working just fine. Thanks for all the help.

You have to delete and retype all occurrences of R', r' and C' in the solve blocks using the straight apostrophe

Werner, Thanks for the previous help. I got past that speed bump only to find another. Further down the calc at the output EBOLT errors stating, "this function accepts at most 6 arguments but is applied to 7". As before, this is an old equation that has worked for a very long time in previous releases. If I remove any of the arguments from EBOLT then the whole thing shuts down. Also, in the definition for EBOLT, below, the TOL is printed in bold; does that mean there is some issue occurring with that. Could part of the issue be stemming from Vo, V1, V2 in the EBOLT definition? They were flagging as "undefined" so I defined them above equal to 1.
