241 Overoptimistic subscript | |
---|---|
A subscript is larger than the array dimensioning allows. | |
249 Cannot take a diversion here | |
A combination of overload and weird side-effects resulted in an attempt to assign a value to a diversion. Diversions are just about the only things which aren't LVALUES. | |
241 register is an array register | |
This is a runtime error, which happens when you attempt to use an array register where a number is expected. This cannot always be determined at compile time, because the register might be specified using the BELONGS TO relation. | |
316 Cannot decide between your threads | |
The programmer attempted to merge two running programs together, which is always a dubious operation. In this case, the programs were multithreaded and it was not possible to decide which thread to merge with which other thread. | |

116 Missing FROM after FREE | |
This error code is reported on the program listing if the initial keyword is not followed by the required bits. If you attempt to execute the statement, the error code followed by the original text will be printed to standard error, and the program terminate. | |
003 Too many command-line arguments | |
A subroutine produced by the inline compiler was called with three or more arguments. Try to limit yourself to two. | |
240 Array too small | |
This error will be reported at runtime if you assign a dimension of zero to an array. | |
436 Register register is stashed away too well | |
The program attempted to RETRIEVE a register which does not appear to have been STASHed, or if it has been, has been hidden so well that the runtime cannot find it again. | |
499 Programmer is too polite | |
Try to say "PLEASE" a bit less often | |
242 Invalid indirection | |
An indirect register operator (+-) had some form of syntax error. | |

084 Invalid gerund | |
An ABSTAIN FROM GERUND or REINSTATE GERUND statement contains an invalid gerund. | |
015 Cannot encode type | |
The compiler attempted to encode a special symbol for its own internal use; however, the requested encoding function does not exist. | |
623 Forgetting too much | |
Forgetting more than you are currently remembering. The program stops, because it can't remember what it was doing. | |
276 Invalid subscript: value | |
An overload code was used with more than one subscript; or a register which must be subscripted wasn't. | |
244 Class register register used as value | |
You did something like DO .1 <- @2 | |
250 Class register required | |
Statements like STUDY need a class or they don't know where to go. | |
093 Missing <- in something which looks like a CALCULATE | |
This error code is reported on the program listing when a statement starts with a register name ans some subscripts, but the parser cannot find the corresponding <-. If you attempt to execute the statement, the error code followed by the original text will be printed to standard error, and the program terminate. | |
275 Register register cannot hold two spot value number | |
A CALCULATE statement produced a 32 bit value and tried to assign it to a 16 bit register. | |
241 Input value has too many spots | |
A WRITE IN obtained a value from standard input, but the value has more spots than the register which is supposed to hold it. | |
797 Class @number cannot be used for writing | |
It may be possible in future but not just now. | |
603 Class war between class and class | |
The program attempted to ENROL a register to study some subjects, but there are two or more classes which teach all the required subjects. Try to list more subjects to distinguish between the classes. | |
444 filename attempted to remove INTERCAL | |
You have called the "unimport" function, either explicitely, or with the pragma "no INTERCAL". Naughty. | |
817 Syntax error | |
Supposedly an inconsistency with a CREATE statement; however this splat is not actually generated. | |
458 Found number statements with label (label) | |
A label appeared more than once in the program. The compiler even tells you how many times. Note that some compilers don't care about repeated labels in your program, as long as you don't try to use them in a context where it causes problems. | |
775 Unexplainable compiler error | |
This can happen when you ask the compiler to omit the random error. We do not know why, when, or how. | |
111 Unknown suffix | |
There is no file type guessing (yet) | |
513 Register slave does not have number owners (just number) | |
The program attemted to find the owner of a slave, but the slave did not have an owner (in other words, it was a free register). Or the slave did have one or more owners, but not enough for the thing you asked to do. | |
100 Constant too large after double-oh-seven | |
This error code is reported on the program listing if the double-oh-seven symbol is followed by a constant, but this is 100 or larger. If you attempt to execute the statement, the error code followed by the original text will be printed to standard error, and the program terminate. | |
013 Cannot find language back end | |
The back end does not exist. Check that you have given the name correctly. If you have, this might indicate a bug in the back end, which you should report. | |
202 Missing TO or LEARN after ENROL | |
This error code is reported on the program listing if the initial keyword is not followed by the required bits. If you attempt to execute the statement, the error code followed by the original text will be printed to standard error, and the program terminate. | |

You did something like DO .1 <- ,2 | |
942 No such sin (sin) | |
The program requested that the compiler do something immoral, illegal or fattening. The compiler was willing, but it did not know how to do it. | |
497 Invalid object format | |
This is a compile-time error, when you load the parse tree from a previous run of the compiler, but the file appears to be corrupted, invalid, or simply not an INTERCAL parse tree. | |
499 Programmer is not polite enough | |
Didn't anybody teach you to say "PLEASE"? | |
247 Attempt to modify special register register | |
There are some registers your program should never touch, such as the program counters (there are three of them in each thread, even without counting any STASHed copies). You can only produce this splat if you use the CREATE statement to allow your program to do it. | |
128 Cannot use JUNK in this grammar | |
A grammar used the special predefined symbol JUNK but did not provide enough evidence that it knows what to do with it. | |
666 Problem with black magic: Nested black magic | |
The program attempted to start the quantum emulator while already inside the quantum emulator. The possibilities are mindboggling, but we've decided we won't go there. | |
246 Data written in (size elements) does not fit in array register (size elements) | |
When executing an alphanumeric WRITE IN, the next input line resulted in a string too big to fit in the array you provided. Use a bigger array or else use binary I/O. | |
013 Syntax is syntax | |
A call to one of the components of the compiler used the wrong syntax. If you are attempting to call the various passes directly, check that you are not doing something wrong. If it is from one of the programs distributed with the comžiler, it is a bug. | |
199 Constant out of range or invalid | |
A constant (#xxx) is greater than 65535 or has some other syntax error. | |
823 Subject subject is not in student's curriculum | |
A LEARNS statements is executed, but the register is not currently ENROLled to study that subject. | |

This happens when the arguments of interleave are 65536 or greater. | |
081 Missing DO or PLEASE | |
This error code is reported on the program listing whenever the parser thinks that a new statement has started, but there is no DO or PLEASE. If you attempt to execute the statement, the error code followed by the original text will be printed to standard error, and the program terminate. | |
241 Array register not dimensioned | |
You are not supposed to start using an array before dimensioning it. | |
012 Compiler cannot save parse tree | |
An error occurred while the compiler was trying to write the internal state of the parser to a file. This will print the error message from the system, for example "No space left on device". | |
774 Compiler error | |
This is the random bug introduced in every INTERCAL program unless the programmer asks otherwise. There is a chance of about 5% of actually executing the bug. However, if the bug is in a loop, it will eventually be executed. | |
111 Cannot guess character set | |
Your input does not look like line noise, no matter how hard the compiler tries. Maybe it isn't an INTERCAL program? | |
514 Invalid overload | |
An overload operator (REGISTER / EXPRESSION or REGISTER \ EXPRESSION) starts with an expression instead of a register. | |
299 Invalid register | |
A register has a number greater than 65535, or the owner specification is invalid, or some similar problems. | |

The ASCII to Baudot converter found something which could not be represented. | |
000 any unreoognised syntax error | |
This error code is reported on the program listing whenever the parser finds an error for which it does not have a more specific code. If you attempt to execute the statement, the error code followed by the original text will be printed to standard error, and the program terminate. | |
514 Invalid owner: number | |
You asked for the zeroth owner, or perhaps you used a two spot number for the owner number. | |
069 Invalid bytecode for item | |
An expression or overload contains bytecode designed for use in statements; or conversely a statement contains an expression bytecode where the interpreter doesn't expect it. | |
456 No splat | |
The program used the 'splat' constant, but there hadn't been any error. You just corrected this situation, of course, but it is too late to rescue your program. | |
399 A subexpression starts with a set of rabbit ears but ends with none | |
This error code is reported on the program listing if an expression starts with a pair of rabbit ears but there is no closing ears. If you attempt to execute the statement, the error code followed by the original text will be printed to standard error, and the program terminate. | |
252 Missing label after STUDY ... AT | |
This error code is reported on the program listing if the initial keyword is not followed by the required bits. If you attempt to execute the statement, the error code followed by the original text will be printed to standard error, and the program terminate. | |
012 Back end cannot create output file | |
This will print the error message from the system, for example "No space left on device". | |
008 Base must be between 2 and 7 (got number) | |
The program used a base of 0, 1 or greater than 7. Just what do you think you are doing anyway? | |
252 Missing class after STUDY ... AT ... IN CLASS | |
This error code is reported on the program listing if the initial keyword is not followed by the required bits. If you attempt to execute the statement, the error code followed by the original text will be printed to standard error, and the program terminate. | |

274 Number value too large for two spots | |
An arithmetic calculation resulted in a number larger than 4294967295. This cannot be used anywhere in INTERCAL. | |
401 Your program is obsolete | |
You have attempted to execute a NEXT, RESUME, or FORGET. This is a symptom that you are attempting to use an old, deprecated, feature, which allows to imitate what other languages call GOTO, subroutine calls, and conditionals. This leads to programs styles which resemble what you'd get with other programming languages, and this is not acceptable for obvious reasons. If you must run these old programs, there is a compiler switch to allow you to. | |
005 Item must be a one spot value (got number) | |
The program used a register, label, overload or stash number greater than 65535. See also *072. | |
534 Wrong number of digits for base base: number | |
An arithmetic calculation in the specified base resulted in a number with too many digits. | |

You were supposed to put a GIVE UP there. | |
621 Pointless "FORGET" | |
That happens if you try to FORGET #0 or RESUME #0 | |
110 Compiler cannot load parse tree | |
This will print the error message from the system - usually, this will be something like "File not found". | |
015 Cannot export symbol | |
One of the components of the compiler could not do something horrible to your namespace. This is a bug and you are not supposed to see this message. | |
072 Illegal label | |
A label number is 65536 or greater. See also *005 | |
109 Invalid character (character) for charset | |
The conversion between character sets just could not cope with this. This splat is currently generated when converting to Baudot or Hollerith, when a character does not exist in that character set; or when converting from Hollerith when an overpunch just cannot be represented. | |
112 Missing TO after ENSLAVE | |
This error code is reported on the program listing if the initial keyword is not followed by the required bits. If you attempt to execute the statement, the error code followed by the original text will be printed to standard error, and the program terminate. | |
010 Invalid character set: name | |
The compiler attempted to set an invalid default character set. Try using one of ASCII, Baudot, EBCDIC or Hollerith. | |
555 Multiple "COME FROM" gerund(symbol) | |
There are several COME FROMs all attracting the same gerund. | |
701 Value written in is not a number: value | |
You typed something like ZERRO instead of ZERO. Or perhaps you used a language which is not understood by CLC-INTERCAL. | |
274 Number value too large for one spot | |
An arithmetic calculation intended for one spot values (labels, dimensions, and the like) resulted in a number larger than 65535. | |
797 Class @number cannot be used for reading | |
It may be possible in future but not just now. | |
512 Register slave DOES NOT BELONG TO owner | |
You attempted to FREE a slave from some owner, however the owner did not own the slave to begin with. | |
664 Program is too large | |
How did you manage to write that much INTERCAL anyway? | |
315 Program trying to subvert natural order | |
A program object contains both source and compiled code, and the two don't agree. Not even when you take into account the fact that the compiler may have changed in the meantime. | |
665 No waltzing in the streets (particularly diversions) | |
The code inside a diversion attempted to execute a NEXT, LEARNS or something else which would cause exiting the diversion by the wrong door. | |
241 register is not an array register | |
This is a runtime error, which happens when you attempt to subscript a register, but the register is not an array. This cannot always be determined at compile time, because the register might be specified using the BELONGS TO relation. | |
241 register overstuffed | |
This is a runtime error caused by putting more data in an array than it can hold. The only case this can currently happen is when you use alphanumeric WRITE IN and the input line is too long. However, the WRITE IN runtime will trap this error and report a different one, so you won't see this one. We have decided to leave it there anyway just in case we find a use for it in the future. | |
822 Register register is not a student | |
A LEARNS or GRADUATES statements is executed, but the register is not currently ENROLled to study any subject. | |
702 Value written in is larger than two spots | |
You typed too many digits. | |
666 Problem with black magic: Diversion during black magic is too dangerous | |
The program attempted to take a diversion while in a dark spot inside the quantum emulator. No idea how it got there. | |
818 Circular reasoning in symbol | |
Recursion is acceptable, but here the problem is that the symbol is defined as being identical to itself, which is true but not useful. | |
816 CREATE statement misconfiguration | |
The production contained some invalid code | |
248 Cannot action overload code | |
The program attempted to overload the overload part of a register, rather than the value part; or some other action which is not supported. | |
129 Could not find label (label) | |
A NEXT or STUDY refers to an undefined label. | |
703 Value value assigned to register larger than two spots | |
A CALCULATE statement managed to produce a number which it cannot even represent. | |
398 A subexpression starts with a spark but ends with none | |
This error code is reported on the program listing if an expression starts with a spark but there is no closing spark. If you attempt to execute the statement, the error code followed by the original text will be printed to standard error, and the program terminate. | |
009 Invalid I/O Type: type | |
The compiler attempted to set the default input/output mechanism (usually one of CLC or C). Binary and alphanumeric I/O cannot work. | |
576 No such optimiser name | |
This error message is reserved for the optimiser, which has not been written yet. | |
241 Dimension mismatch in register | |
You have attempted to give the wrong number of subscripts to an array, for example dimensioning it with 3 and using 4 subscripts. | |
278 Cannot share register and register | |
An attempt to collapse two quantum states resulted in something incompatible. Which is weird, as none of the compilers provided with CLC-INTERCAL actually generate code to do this. | |
218 Syntax error in postprocessor directive | |
The postprocessor looks for a statement template like "REGISTER <- EXPRESSION". It looks like a normal statement, except that some components are replaced with their name. This error occurs when the compiler expects a component name but finds something else. This error also occurs when there is a template mismatch (e.g. DO SWAP REGISTER <- EXPRESSION AND REGISTER GRADUATES"). | |
241 Illegal subscript | |
You have used a subscript with value zero. | |
511 Register register is not a slave | |
You attempted to use the owner of a register, but the register was free. | |

The compiler attempted to specify an invalid default representation for Roman numerals. Numeric output cannot work. | |
252 Missing AT after STUDY | |
This error code is reported on the program listing if the initial keyword is not followed by the required bits. If you attempt to execute the statement, the error code followed by the original text will be printed to standard error, and the program terminate. | |
555 Multiple "COME FROM" (label) | |
There are several COME FROMs all attracting the same label. | |
634 Internal error: loop stash corrupted | |
Something weird happened while the compiler was trying to set up a loop or an event. This is a bug in CLC-INTERCAL. | |
999 Subject #subject of class class at lecture before 1000 | |
Invalid lecture time - lectures must start at 1000 or later This error code is reported on the program listing when a STUDY statement suggests that a lecture label is less than 1000. This is not acceptable in the INTERCAL university, where all lectures must start after 1000. | |
623 Resuming too much | |
The argument to RESUME ends up being too big. The program evaporates. | |
057 Extra garbage at the end of item | |
An expression, overload or extra vehicular code contains more bytecode than it can ever be executed. | |
666 Problem with black magic: Random fire disrupted the black magic | |
The quantum emulator does not like double-oh-seven. | |
277 Impossible assignment (base base): cannot find #X such that op#X is #value | |
Assigning a value to an overloaded register only works in some cases. When it doesn't, you get this error. | |
