Syntax Errors (1 -> 81)  


 

 

The following table lists the syntax error codes for errors that may occur during code execution in the Design or Application environment. Some of these errors may occur in interpreted mode only, some in compiled mode only, some in both modes. You can intercept these errors using an error interruption method installed using ON ERR CALL.

Tips  

Some of these error codes denote plain syntax errors due to mistyping. For example, you get an error #37 if you execute the statement v=0 when you actually meant v:=0. You can eliminate the error by fixing your code in the Method editor.

Some of these error codes are due to simple programming errors. For example, you get an error #5 if you execute an ADD RECORD command, when you have not first set the default table (using the DEFAULT TABLE command), and do not pass the table parameter. In this case, there is no table to which to apply the command. You eliminate the error by checking to see if you forgot to set the default table or if you forgot to pass the table parameter to the command for this occurrence.

Some of these error codes denote errors due to a flaw in the design. For example, you get an error #16 if you apply RELATE ONE to a field that is not related to any other field. You eliminate the error by checking to see if your code is actually wrong or if you simply forgot to create the relation starting from the field.

Some errors, when they occur, are not always located exactly where your code breaks. For example, if in a subroutine you get an error #53 (indice out of range) on the line vpFld:=Field($1;$2), the error is due to a wrong table and/or field number that has been passed to the subroutine as a parameter. Therefore, the error is located in the caller method and not where the error actually occurs. In this case, trace your code in the Debugger window to determine which line of code is the real culprit, then fix it in the Method editor.
