Remote Processing CAMBASIC - Manual (Page 186)

Error Messages - 1
The following list of error messages are r eturned by CAM BASIC. These indicate clearly, what is wrong, within the
context of a program, and should be of great use in program debugging.
NUM M E S S AG E E X P L A NA T I O N
0 < Unknown err or > Error is undefined
1 < NEXT w/o FOR > A NEXT statement is encountered without a matching FOR.
2
<
Syntax
>
A line is encountered that includes an incorrect sequence of characters
(misspelled keyword, incor rect punctuation, etc.).
3 < R E T U R N w / o G O S U B > A RET URN statement is encountere d for which ther e is no previous,
unmatch ed GO SUB statem ent.
4 < Out of DATA > A READ statement is executed when there are no more DATA
s ta t em e n ts w it h u n r ea d da t a r e m a in in g in th e pr o g ra m .
5 < Illegal argument > A parame ter that is out of range is passed to a numeric or string function.
This error m ay also occur as a result of:
a. A negative or unr easonably lar ge subscr ipt.
b. A negative or zero argum ent with the LOG function.
c. A negative argument to SQR.
d. A negative mantissa w ith a non-integer exponent.
e. An improper argument to MID$, LEFT $, RIGH T$, P EEK,
POKE, TAB, SPC or ON...GOTO.
f. Other function arguments which exceed the limits of the function.
6 < Overflow > The result of a calculation is too large to be represented in CA MBASIC
single– precision format. If underflow occurs, execution continues
without an error.
7 < Out of memory > A program is too large, or has too many loops, subroutines, and/or
variables; or has expressions that are too complicated to evaluate.
8
<
Line/label not found
>
A nonexistent line number is referenced in an EDIT, DELETE,
REN UM , etc . state ment.
9 < Subscript out of range > An array elem ent is referenced, either w ith a subscript that is outside the
dimensions of the arr ay, or with the wrong number of subscripts.
10 < Array already dimensioned > Two D IM statem ents are g iven for the same ar ray; or a D IM statem ent is
given for an array after the default dimension of 11 has been established
for that array.
11 < Division by zero > A division by zero is encountered in an expression; or, the value zero has
been raised to a negative power. In the first case, the result is machine
infinity (with the a ppropr iate sign); in the second c ase, the result is
positive machine infinity.
