-------------------------------
(MS-DOS only) An invalid character has been detected in a LOAD file where a digit
from 0 to 9 or a character from A to F was expected.
Invalid file descriptor

Due to an internal error, FoxBASE+ has attempted to read or write with a damaged
file descriptor.
Invalid key length

An invalid index key length has been specified. The length of a key for an index
must be between 0 and 100 characters.

A function name is missing a right parenthesis. Either the current line contains
a left parenthesis which has not been matched or the function contains too many
arguments which prevents the right parenthesis from being detected.

---------
FoxBASE+ did not detect a comma when one was expected. This error is usually
caused through failure to include the proper number of arguments in a call to a
function.
Missing/invalid terminal config. file

(MS-DOS only) FoxBASE+ cannot find the specified terminal configuration file, or
the file contains invalid data.
Mixed mode expression

the data type of the expression on the right side. An example of this error
would be to compare a number to a string.
