Compile Error Messages
If you compile a map with errors, the compile error messages are displayed in the Compile Errors dialog box. Or, if you compile an extended rule containing errors before compiling the map, error messages are displayed in the Error section of the extended rules dialog box.
After you correct the error, click Compile again to verify that the rule is error-free.
The compile error messages are listed by the four- or five-digit message number and the error message text. The error explanations cover the possible causes of the error and the actions that you can take (if appropriate) to correct the error.
| Msg ID | Message Text | Explanation/Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| 1000 | expected '.' | The rule does not have the required period (.) between a group
name and a field name. Insert a period (.) between the group name and field name. |
| 1001 | no statement to compile | The rule does not contain any statements. Add a statement or statements to the rule. |
| 1002 | unexpected end of program | The rule was not complete. Finish the rule. |
| 1003 | expected ',' | The rule does not have the required comma (,) between parameters. Insert a comma (,) between parameters. |
| 1006 | no statements to compile | The body of an IF/ELSE or WHILE condition was empty. Complete the body of the unfinished condition. |
| 1008 | expected '#' | The rule does not have the required number sign (#) before
a field name. Insert a number sign (#) before the field name. |
| 2000 | group ... undefined | The rule references a group that does not exist. Change the reference to an existing group or delete the reference. |
| 2001 | ... is not a member of ... | The rule references a field that does not belong to the specified
group. Change the reference to an existing field in the specified group. |
| 2002 | insufficient indexes to access group ... | The rule does not give the full addressing for a group. Complete the addressing for the group. |
| 2003 | too many indexes to access group... | The rule uses too many addresses for the group. Address the group correctly. |
| 2004 | ... has not been defined | The rule references an undefined variable. Define the variable in the declarations section. |
| 2005 | out of temporary variables | The rule could not be compiled because some expressions are
too complex. Simplify the expressions and compile the rule again. |
| 2008 | field type unknown | The compiler was unable to determine the type of a field. Verify that a data type is selected for this field. |
| 2009 | cannot reference a local field with no current group | The rule (probably pre- or post-session) references a local
field, but is not associated with any group. Reference the field using the proper addressing. |
| 2010 | instances of '%1' are transient and cannot be accessed | The rule references an output group using full addressing.
This form of addressing is appropriate only for input groups. Reference the output group with the proper address. |
| 2011 | no field specified | The rule omits a field reference. Add the field reference to the rule. |
| 2037 | Line x : Output fields can only be referenced in field extended rules. | The output field is only allowed to be reference by a field
extended rule. Line x indicates the line number in the rule that has
the field reference. You cannot include a field reference in a group-level extended rule (because it negates the linked value). Instead of referencing an output field from a group-level extended rule, set the reference on the input side of the map and link to the output field. |
| 2100 | ... is not an array variable | The rule uses array indexing for a variable that is not an
array. Use the proper indexing for the variable. |
| 2101 | ... : array index required | The rule uses an array variable without using the necessary
array indexing. Add the necessary indexing to the array variable. |
| 2102 | ... : array overflow | The rule uses an invalid array index. Use the proper array index for the array variable. |
| 2103 | only one wildcard index is permitted | The rule uses more than one wildcard index. Use only one wildcard index per rule. |
| 2104 | a wildcard index must be specified | The rule does not specify a wildcard index when required. Add a wildcard index where necessary. |
| 2200 | expected a string | A required string or string variable is not supplied. Add the required string or string variable. |
| 2201 | string overflow | A string overflow occurred. Verify that the size of a destination string is equal to or greater than the source string. |

or slash (/). Specify an asterisk (*) or a slash (/). |
| 4004 | expected ')' | You specified something other than the expected right parenthesis
()). Specify a right parenthesis ()). |
| 4005 | expected a factor, found ... | The numeric expression is invalid. |
| 4006 | expected '(' | You specified something other than the expected left parenthesis
((). Specify a left parenthesis ((). |
| 4007 | ... is of incorrect type | The specified expression is of an incorrect type. Specify the correct type for the expression. |

but no Use Code standard rule defines the permitted values. Define a Use Code standard rule for the specified attribute. |
| 20705 | Element ..., Attribute ...: code list used in enumerated attribute does not exist. | The code list for the specified enumerated XML attribute does
not exist. Define the code list. |
| 20706 | Element ..., Attribute ...: default value is not valid | The specified default value is not in the code list for this
XML attribute. Verify that the specified default value is in the code list. |
