±9.999999999 1099 (Ma ERROR).

When an attempt is made to perform a function calculation that exceeds the input range (Ma ERROR).

When an illegal operation is attempted during statistical calculations (Ma ERROR). For example, attempting to obtain 1VAR without data input.

When an improper data type is specified for the argument of a function calculation (Ma ERROR).

When the capacity of the numeric value stack or command stack is exceeded (Stack ERROR). For example, entering 25 successive ( followed by 2 + 3 * 4 w.
