Description
The number specified as an offset or literal is improperly
formatted. Possible causes are 1) lack of white space setting
off the number, and 2) invalid characters in the number.
Note: The radix of the number is determined by the first
1 or 2 characters of the number:
A number with a leading "0x" or "0X" is treated as
hexadecimal.
All other numbers with a leading 0 are treated as octal.
All other numbers are treated as decimal.
The number that is specified as an offset or literal is too
large. An offset is limited to 1518 minus the size of the
operand. For example, the offset for pushField.b can be no
more than 1517, and the offset for pushField.w no more
than 1516.
A literal value is limited to the number of bytes in the
operand size (1, 2, 4, or 6).
The string specified does not have a starting quotation
mark (").
The string specified is too long. Strings are limited to
32 characters exclusive of the opening and closing
quotation marks.
The string specified does not have an ending quotation
mark (").
More than one name statement was found in the program.
Only a single name statement is allowed.
The program exceeds the maximum size allowed. The
causes of this error include a source definition exceeding
4096 bytes, a stored format exceeding 254 bytes, or a
run-time format exceeding 2048 bytes. All of these
boundary conditions are checked when the filter is loaded.
The program contains an excessive number of errors. No
further syntax errors will be reported. The program stops
compiling when this condition occurs.
