A. 3 BASIC Error Message List
The BASIC interpreter displays an error message in one of the following formats when an error occurs
during operation.
1. < error type > error (Direct mode error)
2. < error type > error in line number (Run mode error)
Error messages in format 1 are issued when an error is detected during execution of a direct command
or entry of a program. Error messages in format 2 are issued when an error is detected during program
