The interpreter ran out of memory in the normal course of operation.
Interpreters are expected to utilize whatever memory is available in
their operating environment. If only a limited amount of memory is
present on the machine they are operating on, they may restrict their
use. If memory is arbitrarily limited, however, running out of space
should result in a limitcheck error, not outofmemory.
A protocol error was encountered while parsing binary encoded data
in the input stream. In particular, when defining a string or request
code, an expected string was not encountered. The binary encoding
scheme is described in Binary encoding.
The interpreter ran out of space while parsing a string. This error is a
specific instance of the outofmemory error. SEE ALSO outofmemory,
limitcheck
he interpreter recognized a syntax error of indeterminate nature. Syntax
errors can occur from unterminated strings or invalid numbers.
EXAMPLE
”this is an unterminated string
01a3 # invalid integer
The interpreter encountered a name token that was not a valid request.
This is usually due to misspelling a request name, or not enclosing a
string in quote marks (”).
