Error in 'join' command: Usage: join ()? [subsearch]

I get the error "Error in 'join' command: Usage: join <options> (<join-fields>)? [subsearch]" when running the following search within a macro but it runs fine and produces desired results if i run it in a regular search without encasulating it inside a macro so it means that the main and subsearches inside the join command are working fine. Any help will be appreciated.

Make sure the ENTIRE search is on a single line within the macros.conf file. Line breaks will kill this quite quickly.
