The Purpose of Error Codes
The IGP/PGL provides coded error messages to assist in “debugging”
programs. The printer will print an error message number and the program
line which contains the error when an error is detected. To help determine
exactly where the error occurred, use the following debug command
sequence:
(CC)CREATE;/FORM NAME
The slash (/) places the IGP/PGL in a debug mode, and the program prints,
line by line, with the error number and message printed below the specific
error in the program. The error–free portions of the form will print following
the program. After correcting the error(s), print the file again. When the
errors have been corrected, delete the slash. (A sample debug listing is shown
in “Solving Program Errors” on page 6–49.)
In the Execute mode, that part of the form which was correctly defined and
stored during the Create mode will print, including any dynamic data and
overlay text which was accepted before the error occurred. (Sections
containing errors must be corrected before storage in the Directory can take
place.) Any error messages will print following the printed form, and
processing will continue in the Normal mode.
In the Create Form or Create Logo mode, any error messages will print first,
followed by that part of the form/logo which was correctly defined.
Incorrectly defined elements are excluded from the form/logo.
The error codes are broken down into the categories listed in the Chapter
Table of Contents, on page 8–1. In each category, the number preceding each
error message is the actual error code reported by the printer, and the error
shown in bold is the error message printed.
