[ 2 ] How error messages are displayed on the editor or main window
During building, the BHT-BASIC 3.5 Compiler may detect errors which can be divided into two
types: syntax errors and fatal errors.
■ Syntax errors
If the Compiler detects a syntax error, it outputs the error message to the XXX.ERR file. For
details about the file, refer to Subsection 2.4.9, "Output from the BHT-BASIC 3.5 Compiler."
If the "To the Editor" check box of the Error Message Output is selected in the Set Options dia-
log box, the editor will automatically open and show the detected errors. If the "To the Window"
check box is selected, those errors will be outputted to the main window.
The total number of detected syntax errors always displays on the main window.
- Error messages displayed on the editor
- Error messages displayed on the main window
■ Fatal errors
If the Compiler detects a fatal error, it outputs the error message to the main window.
■ ERRORLEVEL
The ERRORLEVEL function is supported only when a +E option is specified at the command
line. (Refer to Subsection 2.4.8, "Starting the BHT-BASIC 3.5 Compiler from the Command
Line," [ 3 ].)
