EXPORT PROG1(A,B,C)
BEGIN
LOCAL D=0;
LOCAL E=0;
(-B+SQUAREROOT(B^2-4AC))/(2A)->D;
(-B-SQUAREROOT(B^2-4AC))/(2A)->E;
MSGBOX(D,E);
END;

squareroot is replaced by the square root symbol in the code
So what is the problem?

I presume that -> is the actual store arrow. The problem (based solely on your source code) is that MSGBOX() only takes a single argument. You've separated D and E as two arguments and there is no such instance of MSGBOX() using two arguments. Instead, try: MSGBOX({D,E}).
