A-47

A calling sequence passes a parameter in the form @identifier to a procedure or

subprocedure that expects an extended pointer as a parameter. If the intent is to pass

the address of the pointer rather than the address stored in the pointer, no error is

involved.

An indirect array is declared inside a subprocedure or is declared as a read-only array.

The compiler changes the indirect array to a direct array because:

•

The sublocal area has no secondary storage for indirect data.

•

Code-relative addresses are always direct.

The compiler attempted to generate code that decrements the S register below its

initial value in a procedure or subprocedure. If you decide that your source program is

correct, you must insert a DECS directive at that point to recalibrate the compiler’s

internal S register. This is essential in subprocedures, because sublocal variables have

S-relative addresses.

A PUSH or POP prefix appears on a directive that has no directive stack. Specify the

directive identifier without the prefix.

A FORWARD declaration occurs, but the procedure body declaration is missing. The

compiler converts all references to this procedure into EXTERNAL references to the

same identifier. If this is not your intent, declare the procedure body.
