The Purpose of Error Codes

The IGP/PGL provides coded error messages to assist in ªdebuggingº programs. The printer will print an error message number and the program line which contains the error when an error is detected. To help determine exactly where the error occurred, use the following debug command sequence:

(CC)CREATE;/FORM NAME

The slash (/) places the IGP/PGL in a debug mode, and the program prints, line by line, with the error number and message printed below the specific error in the program. The error±free portions of the form will print following the program. After correcting the error(s), print the file again. When the errors have been corrected, delete the slash. (A sample debug listing is shown in ªSolving Program Errorsº on page 6±49.)

In the Execute mode, that part of the form which was correctly defined and stored during the Create mode will print, including any dynamic data and overlay text which was accepted before the error occurred. (Sections containing errors must be corrected before storage in the Directory can take place.) Any error messages will print following the printed form, and processing will continue in the Normal mode.

In the Create Form or Create Logo mode, any error messages will print first, followed by that part of the form/logo which was correctly defined. Incorrectly defined elements are excluded from the form/logo.

The error codes are broken down into the categories listed in the Chapter Table of Contents, on page 8±1. In each category, the number preceding each error message is the actual error code reported by the printer, and the error shown in bold is the error message printed.
