Errors

Macro processing errors are displayed like other assembly errors in the listing file. The following table describes error messages generated by the macro processor:

Error	Error Message and Description
80	PREMATURE END OF FILE The end of the source module was reached while processing some macro call. More input is required from the source file.
81	*'token' IDENTIFIER EXPECTED* The macro processor expected an identifier while processing a macro but none was found. The unexpected token is displayed.
82	*MPL FUNCTION 'name': 'character' EXPECTED* The context of the macro processor language requires a specific character while processing the built-in function name.
83	string: UNBALANCED PARENTHESES A balanced string requires the same number of right parentheses and left parentheses.
84	*EXPECTED 'token'* The syntax requires a specific token. For example, THEN after the balanced text argument to IF.
85	INCOMPLETE MACRO DEFINITION The macro definition is incomplete because of a premature end to the input file.
86	FUNCTION 'MATCH': ILLEGAL CALL PATTERN The built-in function MATCH was called with an illegal call pattern. The call pattern must consist of a formal name followed by a delimiter specification and another formal name.
87	FUNCTION 'EXIT' IN BAD CONTEXT The built-in function EXIT is allowed only in WHILE and REPEAT constructs.
88	*ILLEGAL METACHARACTER 'character'* The first character of the balanced text argument to the METACHAR function is taken to be the new value of the meta character. The characters @, (, ), *, blank, tab, and identifier characters are not allowed.
89	*CALL PATTERN - DELIMITER 'delimiter' NOT FOUND* The call pattern of a macro does not conform to the define pattern of that macro.
90	*CALL TO UNDEFINED MACRO 'name'* The macro call specifies the name of an undefined macro.
91	*INVALID MPL COMMAND '%character'* The character following the meta character does not form a valid macro processor language command.
92	*INVALID DIGIT 'character' IN NUMBER* A number of an expression contains an invalid digit.
93	UNCLOSED STRING OR CHARACTER CONSTANT
94	INVALID STRING OR CHARACTER CONSTANT The string representing a number in an expression is invalid. The string must be either one or two characters long. A character constant must not be longer than one character. Strings or character constants must be enclosed by single or double quotes.
95	UNKNOWN EXPRESSION IDENTIFIER The identifier within an expression is not an operator or a number.
96	*'character': INVALID EXPRESSION TOKEN* The specified character does not form a valid operator or an identifier operator.
97	DIV/MOD BY ZERO A division or modulo by zero error occurred while evaluating an expression.
98	EVAL: SYNTAX ERROR IN EXPRESSION The expression to be evaluated contains a syntax error. For example, two consecutive numbers which are not separated by an operator.
99	*CAN'T OPEN FILE 'file'* The file specified in the INCLUDE directive cannot be opened.
100	*'file' IS NOT A DISK FILE* The file specified in the INCLUDE directive does not specify a disk file. Files other than disk files (for example, CON) are not allowed.
101	ERROR IN INCLUDE/INCDIR DIRECTIVE The INCLUDE directive is poorly formed. The argument to INCLUDE must be the name of a file enclosed in parentheses.
102	*CAN'T REDEFINE PREDEFINED MACRO 'macro-name'* Predefined macros such as SET cannot be redefined.
