Expected and Unexpected End-of-file
If
pc
finds a complete program, but there is more (noncomment) text in the
input file, then it indicates that an end-of-file is expected. This situation may
occur after a bracketing error, or if too many
end
s are present in the input. The
message may appear after the recovery says that it
Expected '.'
because a
period (
.
) is the symbol that terminates a program.
If severe errors in the input prohibit further processing,
pc
may produce a
diagnostic message followed by
QUIT
. Examples include unterminated
comments and lines longer than 1,024 characters.
These are the error messages
you receive when you compile
synerr2.p
. On line 6,
parentheses are used for
subscripting (as in FORTRAN),
rather than the square brackets
that are used in Pascal.
The compiler noted that
a
was
not defined as a procedure
(delimited by parentheses in
Pascal). Since you cannot
assign values to procedure
calls,
pc
diagnosed a
malformed statement at the
point of assignment.
