Error Messages

If a valid error occurs in the program you will see a message on the screen that says something like this:

Error ### occurred at prg-ctr:#######

The error numbers are described below and may give you an insight into what can be done to correct it:

25 DEVICE FAULT: [run-time error] A hardware error has occurred, for example, with the printer interface or a communications adapter. This occurs due to a user fault, you probably specified the wrong port address or an invalid com port number.

53 FILE NOT FOUND: [run-time error] The file name specified could not be found on the indicated drive.This is occurs probably due to a path not specified correctly by you or a drive letter that should be there but was left out.

57 DEVICE I/O ERROR: [run-time error] A serious hardware problem occurred when trying to carry out some command. This can occur if you are trying to use a faster modem speed than what they actually have. Try changing it.

61 DISK FULL: [run-time error] There isn't enough free space on the indicated or default disk to carry out a file operation. Create some more free disk space and retry your program.

67 TOO MANY FILES: [run-time error] This error can be caused either by trying to create too many files in a drive's root directory, or by an invalid file name that affects the performance of the DOS Create File system call. Increase your FILES= in CONFIG.SYS.

68 DEVICE UNAVAILABLE: [run-time error] You tried to OPEN a device file on a machine without that device; for example, COM1 on a system without a serial adapter or modem. Check your com port number in your drop file, if if it looks okay set the COMPORT variable in the CFG file. Some DOOR.SYS files created by some boards do not place a : (colon) after the comport line. If this is the case, call the Programmer's Mega-Source for a fix program.

75 PATH/FILE ACCESS ERROR: [run-time error] During a command capable of specifying a path name (OPEN, RENAME, or MKDIR, for example), you used a path inappropriately; trying to OPEN a subdirectory or to delete a directory in-use, for example. See Error 76.

76 PATH NOT FOUND: [run-time error] The path you specified during a CHDIR, MKDIR, OPEN, etc., can't be found. Have them check all their drive/path information (sometimes you use the wrong drive letter or forget to put a / at the end, etc.)
