40 Only allowed with a variable

A bit-deposit construct is applied to a variable other than STRING or INT:

INT i;

UNSIGNED(5) uns5;

i := uns5.<13:14>; !Error 40 appears

To correct the preceding error, change the variable to STRING or INT:

INT i, var;

i := var.<13:14>;

An operation or construct that is valid only when used with a variable appears in

some other context, such as appending a bit-deposit field to an expression:

INT a, b;

(a+b).<2:5> := 0; !Error 40 appears

To correct the preceding error, assign the expression to a STRING or INT variable

and then append the bit-deposit field to the variable:

INT a, b, var;

!Code to store values in A and B

var := a + b;

var.<2:5> := 0;

41 Undefined ASSERTION procedure:

proc-name

An ASSERT statement invokes an undeclared procedure specified in an ASSERTION

directive. Either declare the procedure or specify an existing procedure in the

ASSERTION directive.
