HP-42S "No Variables" message Message #1 Posted by Thomas Okken on 11 Feb 2005, 10:28 a.m. I was looking at an HP-42S ROM image today, and in the section with all the messages (starting at byte offset 0x7656 in the rev. C ROM), I noticed the message "No Variables". Just curious - does anyone know when this message is used? I know about "No Menu Variables", "No Real Variables", "No Complex Variables", and "No Matrix Variables", but I don't recall ever having seen "No Variables". I also noticed "Global Span", which I'd never seen my 42S utter in anger, either. Took me a moment to figure that one out. :-) - Thomas

Re: HP-42S Global Span Message #4 Posted by Andrés C. Rodríguez (Argentina) on 11 Feb 2005, 9:13 p.m., in response to message #1 by Thomas Okken Global Span: Error message which appears when trying to insert or delete a program line which would have left more than 3854 bytes ( = 7 x 512, FWIW ) between two consecutive alpha labels, or between a global label and an END instruction. Ref: HP42S manual, Edition3, March 1989, page 284 You have to be quite decided to cause this condition (I once did)
