CSTRREFAINT, Repetition factor must be an integer

Error.

CTESTRSIZ, Compile-time strings must be less than 8192 characters

Error.

CTGARRDESC, Contiguous array descriptor cannot describe size/alignment properties
Information: Conformant array parameters, dynamic array parameters, and %DESCR array parameters all use the contiguous array descriptor mechanism in the HP OpenVMS Calling Standard. Size and alignment attributes are prohibited on such arrays, as these attributes can create noncontiguous allocation. This message can appear as additional information in other error messages.

DEBUGOPT, /NOOPTIMIZE is recommended with /DEBUG
Information: Unexpected results may be seen when debugging an optimized program. To prevent conflicts between optimization and debugging, you should compile your program with /NOOPTIMIZE until it is thoroughly debugged. Then you can recompile the program with optimization enabled to produce more efficient code.

IVFUNC, Invalid use of function "function name"
IVFUNCALL, Invalid use of function call
IVFUNCID, Invalid use of function identifier
Error: These messages result from illegal attempts to assign values or otherwise refer to the components of the function result (if its type is structured), use the type cast operator on a function identifier or its result, or deallocate the storage reserved for the function result (if its type is a pointer).

Error.

IVUSEBNDID, Illegal use of bound identifier "identifier name"
Error: An identifier that represents one bound of a conformant schema was used where a variable was expected, such as in an assignment statement or in a formal VAR parameter section. The restrictions on the use of a bound identifier are identical to those on a constant identifier.

IVUSEDES, Invalid use of descriptor class attribute
Error: The use of an attribute on a variable, parameter, or routine conflicts with the requirements of the object's type.

IVUSEFNID, Illegal use of function identifier "identifier name"
Error: Two examples of illegal uses are the assignment of values to the components of the function result (if its type is structured) and the passing of the function identifier as a VAR parameter.

Error: A label cannot prefix more than one statement in the same block.

LABRNGTAG, Variant case label does not fall within range of tag type
Error: A constant specified as a case label of a variant record is not within the range defined for the type of the tag field.

LABTOOBIG, Label "label number" is greater than MAXINT

Error.

LABUNSATDECL, Unsatisfied declaration of label "label name" is not local to "block name"
Error: A label that prefixes a statement in a nested block was declared in an enclosing block.

LIBESTAB, LIB$ESTABLISH is incompatible with HP Pascal; use predeclared procedure ESTABLISH
Warning: HP Pascal establishes its own condition handler for processing Pascal-specific run-time signals. Calling LIB$ESTABLISH directly replaces the handler supplied by the compiler with a user-written handler; the probable result is improper handling of run-time signals. You should use Pascal's predeclared ESTABLISH procedure to establish user-written condition handlers.

LISTONEND, LIST attribute allowed only on final formal parameter

Error.

LISTUSEARG, Formal parameter has LIST attribute, use predeclared function ARGUMENT
Error: A formal parameter with the LIST attribute cannot be directly referenced. You should use the predeclared function ARGUMENT to reference the actual parameters corresponding to the formal parameter.

LNETOOLNG, Line too long, is truncated to 255 characters
Error: A source line cannot exceed 255 characters. If it does, the compiler disregards the remainder of the line.

LOWGTRHIGH, Low-bound exceeds high-bound
Error: The definition of the flagged subrange type is illegal because the value specified for the lower limit exceeds that for the upper limit.

MAXLENINT, Max-length must be a value of type integer
