Trying to understand example 15.1.10 from Herbert's book, I ran into the
following error:
! Missing number. Treated as zero
When using month's name as label. The definitions \Monat and \Level work
fine. Could someone point my errors?

I am using the online version. 
Maybe I am missing something, because of the language barrier. My german
skills range from lousy to nonexisting.

The code I am using:
\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{pstricks,pst-plot,pstricks-add}
\def\Monat #1{%
	\ifcase#1\or Januar\or Februar\or März\or April\or Mai\or Juni\or%
	Juli\or August\or September\or Oktober\or November\or Dezember\fi%
}%
\def\Level#1{\ifcase#1\or Wenig\or Mittel\or Viel\fi}%
\def\psvlabel#1{\footnotesize\Level{#1}}%
\def\pshlabel#1{\rput[rb]{30}{\footnotesize\Monat{#1}}}%
\begin{document}
\psset{unit=0.8}
Month: \Monat{3}, level: \Level{1} 
\begin{center}
	\begin{pspicture}(0.5,1)(13,4)
	\psaxes[showorigin=false]{->}(13,4)
	\end{pspicture}
\end{center}
\end{document}
