Chapter 14. Error Messages

    14.1 Introduction

There are many conditions that can prevent the normal completion of an operation. They can occur from operation of the menus, during Translation of a Model, or during the running of a Simulation.

Errors that occur as you initiate Commands and environmental operations appear immediately and prevent the operation from beginning. They require you to correct a condition or select a different operation. The other two categories of error generally are fixed by alterations in your Model.

Syntax errors can occur when you translate a Model or Command. To fix ones that occur in a Model translation you can use Search / Next Error or Search / Previous Error to move the cursor directly to the faulty Statement. If an error occurs in an Include-file, you can get better diagnostic messages by temporarily placing those statements in a Model Object.

Errors that occur within the Simulation are called Error Stops. They cause the Simulation to enter the Halted state, and if an Experiment is in progress it is aborted. Usually Error Stop messages tell you where the error is to be corrected in the Model, but the Search / Next Error feature is not available for them. Instead, the Include-file number (the Model is file number 0) and the text-line number is given in the error message. The Edit / Goto menu command can usually be used to find and correct these errors.

Sometimes you will need to do some investigation in order to find the error. If the source of the error is not apparent, you may want to stop the simulation at a specific place and then use the SHOW Command and open Windows and Snapshots to see what happened.

For troublesome Error Stops you may want to use the Blocks window and the debug toolbar. Then you can place a Stop condition that causes a stop just before when the error condition occurs, Then use interactive SHOW commands to evaluate all suspected operands. When a condition occurs late in a simulation, you may find it convenient to save the Simulation object just before the simulated time when the error is due to occur. This can save time when you must rerun a late part of the simulation a few times in the diagnostic process. You can keep reopening that saved Simulation instead of rerunning the simulation to the error point.

The major error messages are listed next in alphabetic order with an additional explanation. Where you see XXX in the message it means that the error message contains a phrase that depends on the details of the error condition. Admittedly some messages arise from more than one context. In that case the explanation is based on what we think is the most common way the message can occur.
