non.fatal.error.condition
an error which does not force termination of a program.
Description
a type of error that occurs when a Pick/BASIC program encounters a condition which is resolved by the Pick/BASIC runtime package, although not to the specific need of the program.
The most common occurrence of this is the 'variable has not been assigned a value, zero used' message. This particular instance occurs if a reference is made to a variable on the RIGHT side of an '=' (equal) BEFORE being referenced (assigned) on the LEFT side of an '='.
Example
dim array(10)
for i = 1 to 10
array(i) = x
next i
This results in 10 non-fatal error messages:
[B10] in program 'name', Line n:
Variable has not been assigned a value; zero used.
