Chapter 6-3 MacOS Error Messages

Since Omikron Basic often calls on the operating system of the MacOS, error messages of the MacOS can be the result (e.g., when trying to open a non-existing file or when creating an Omikron Basic output window without having enough memory in the application heap). The following overview is meant to help the user to interpret these error messages correctly and make the appropriate corrections in his or her programs. This table contains only the most important numbers and does not claim to be comprehensive.

Note: In some cases it can happen, that an error number is reported, which is not listed at the corresponding manager. E.g. if you open an output window via SCREEN, although not enough memory is available in the application heap, the error message "QuickDraw error no: -108" will be reported. But this is an error message of the MemoryManager and there is explained, what this number means.
