Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

■ More than one condition can cause this error:
 
  • You have a label defined within a SUB or FUNCTION
    procedure or DEF FN function and you tried to branch to
    the label from outside the procedure or function.
 
  • You have a RETURN statement with a target line label or
    line number within a SUB or FUNCTION procedure.
 
  • You have used a STATIC statement outside a SUB or FUNCTION
    procedure or DEF FN function, or you have used the SHARED
    statement outside a SUB or FUNCTION procedure.
 
  • You have placed a RUN statement with no specified file
    name within a SUB or FUNCTION procedure or DEF FN
    function.
