APPENDIX 2
BASIC ERROR MESSAGES
If the XL encounters a command which it is unable
to execute, or a number it cannot handle, an error
message will be displayed.
If the error occurred while running a program, the
program will stop, and a message of the form
ERROR *** AT LINE XX
will be displayed, where *** represents the error
code, and XX is the program line at which the error
has occurred. The program is retained in the
computer, as are the values assigned to all
variables at the time of the error.

form
ERROR - **
and is embedded in the line which is in error.
The following descriptions explain the error codes,
