83 CPU type must be set initially
A CPU directive appears in the wrong place. Specify this directive preceding any data
or procedure declarations.
84 There is no SCAN instruction for extended memory
An extended indirect array is the object of a SCAN or RSCAN statement. The
hardware does not support scans in extended memory. Move the array temporarily
into a location in the user data segment and perform the scan operations there.
85 Bounds illegal on .SG or .EXT items
A system global or extended pointer declaration includes bound specifications.
Remove the bounds from such declarations.
86 Constant expected and not found
A variable appears where the compiler expects a constant. Replace the variable with a
constant.
87 Illegal constant format
A constant appears in an incorrect form. Specify constants in the forms described in
Section 3, “Data Representation.”
88 Expression too complex. Please simplify
The current expression is too complex. The compiler’s stack overflowed and the
compilation terminated. Simplify the expression.
89 Only arrays of simple data types can be declared read-only
A structure declaration contains = 'P', which is restricted to read-only array
declarations. Either remove = 'P' from the structure declaration, or replace the
structure declaration with a read-only array declaration.
