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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

An ELSE clause appears without a corresponding IF.
Sometimes this error is caused by incorrectly nested IF
statements.
 
Also check other control structures within the IF...ENDIF
block and verify that they are correctly matched. For
example, a nested IF block without a matching ENDIF
inside the outer IF...ENDIF block generates this error.
