Cause and Suggested Remedies
An
attempt
was made to reference
an
array
element that
is
outside the dimensions of the
array. This may happen by specifying the
wrong number of dimensions (different from
the DIM statement), using a subscript larger
than specified in the DIM statement or using a
subscript larger than 10 for a non-dimen-
sioned array.
Correct the array element number to remain
within
the original dimensions, or change the
array size to allow more elements.
A CONT command was issued.
but
program
execution cannot
be
resumed because the
program
has
been altered. added to or cleared
in immediate mode. or execution was stopped
by
an
error. Program execution cannot
be
con-
tinued past
an
error message.
Correct the error. The most prudent course
is
to type
RUN
and start over. However. vou
can attempt to reenter the program
at
the
point of interruption by a directed
GOTO.
An
attempt was made to perform a division
operation
with
a divisor of
zero.
Dividing by
zero
is
not allowed.
Check the values of variables (or constants!)
in the indicated line number. Change the pro-
gram
so
that the divisor can never
be
evalu-
ated to zero or add a check for zero before per-
forming the division.
This
is
not a program error
but
indicates
that a string expression in the program
is
too
intricate for
PET
BASIC to handle.
Break the indicated expression into
two
or
more parts and rerun the program
(this
will
also tend to improve program readability).
