APPENDIX C. PC208W ERROR MESSAGES
C-2 PC208W, Version 3.0, Instruction Manual
There was a problem opening an input file.
File could not be found or may be in use.
Ensure a valid input file was chosen, and that
the file is not opened in another program.
If multiple input files have been specified, the
input file name length may have been
exceeded. The input file length is 253
characters. If file names have paths defined,
this limit may be exceeded. Try deleting the
path from each file's name by editing the Input
Data File field.
Date functions must include year.
Check the Select line for a Date function without
a year.
Invalid decimal place entry. Valid values are
0 to 9.
Check the Report and Columns heading
section. Up to 9 decimal places may be
specified.
Selected array not found in "Copy
Condition", Cannot paste.
When you’re pasting an element in the Select
line using Final Storage Labels, the array you
are selecting from must be found on the Copy
line. If the Copy line is blank, SPLIT will add it
for you but you must add it otherwise.
Cannot paste there.
You can only paste on Select and Copy lines.
Ensure the cursor is within one of these fields.
C.2 EDLOG EXPRESSION ERRORS
The following error codes and messages may
occur when using expressions.
Code Error Message
100 Missing left parenthesis
101 Missing right parenthesis
102 Variable name expected
103 Number expected
104 Floating point numbers limited to 5 digits
107 Function expected
110 New line expected
111 Equal sign expected
C.2.1 CAUSES
C.2.1.1 Variable Name Expected
This message occurs when the expression is
not set equal to an Input Location label. The
label must be to the left of the expression and
not enclosed in parentheses. An expression
that contains no equal sign causes compiler
error 202, “unrecognized text”.
For Example:
“Variable name expected” is displayed when a
program contains any of these expressions:
5=el*(Vee+en)
(lambda) = COS(theta)
10-(zee/2)=bee
These are correct ways of entering the above
expressions:
five=el*(Vee+en)
lambda = COS(theta)
bee=10-(zee/2)
C.2.1.2 Number Expected
Indicates one of the following situations:
(1) An expression with a /, *, or ^ operator is
missing a number or label before and/or
after the operator.
(2) An expression with a + or - operator does
not have a number or label after the
operator.
(3) An expression with an @ operator does not
have a number after the @; only a fixed
number is allowed immediately after the @
operator.
(4) An expression with an @ operator does not
have either a number or label before the @.
(5) There is nothing between a pair of
parentheses (e.g., the expression contains
this "()").
(6) A number is immediately followed by a label
or function without an operator (e.g., an
expression containing “8label” gets this
error message).
C.2.1.3 Floating Point Numbers Limited to 5
Digits
All fixed numbers are limited to five digits not
including negative signs and decimal points.
