ERROR Statement
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Action

 Simulates the occurrence of a BASIC error or a user-defined error.


 Syntax

  ERROR  integerexpression%


 Remarks

 The argument  integerexpression% represents the error code. It must be
 between 1 and 255, inclusive. If  integerexpression% is an error code
 already used by BASIC, the  ERROR statement simulates the occurrence of that
 error.

 To define your own error code, use a value that is greater than any used by
 the standard BASIC error codes. (Start at 255 and work down to avoid
 compromising compatibility with future Microsoft BASIC error codes.) In
 general, the error codes used by BASIC are between 1 and 100 (although not
 all these are used).

 If an error statement is executed when no error-handling routine is enabled,
 BASIC generates an error message and stops program execution. If the  ERROR
 statement specified an error code that is not used by BASIC, the message
 Unprintable error is generated.
