Reset ON ERROR code pointer
Submitted by Steve Fewell
Routine: ON ERROR OFF
Name: Reset BASIC's error code pointer
Starting Address: &B2A6
Exit: BASIC's error vector (&16,
&17) contains the address &B2AF.
Description:
This routine resets the BASIC error vector code
address to the address of the default BASIC error routine code (the default
address of &B2AF).
If an ON ERROR statement is issued then the error vector will point to the code
after the ON ERROR instead of this default.
The BASIC's default error program code is located from &B2AF to &B2C7, and contains the following tokenised BASIC instructions:
| Address | Contents (in Hex) | BASIC program Code |
| B2AF | F6 | REPORT |
| B2B0 | 3A | : |
| B2B1 | E7 | IF |
| B2B2 | 9E | ERL |
| B2B3 | F1 | |
| B2B4 | 22 | " |
| B2B5 | 20 | <space> |
| B2B6 | 61 | a |
| B2B7 | 74 | t |
| B2B8 | 20 | <space> |
| B2B9 | 6C | l |
| B2BA | 69 | i |
| B2BB | 6E | n |
| B2BC | 65 | e |
| B2BD | 20 | <space> |
| B2BE | 22 | " |
| B2BF | 3B | ; |
| B2C0 | 9E | ERL |
| B2C1 | 3A | : |
| B2C2 | E0 | END |
| B2C3 | 8B | ELSE |
| B2C4 | F1 | |
| B2C5 | 3A | : |
| B2C6 | E0 | END |
| B2C7 | 0D | <return> |
Therefore, the default BASIC error code is:
REPORT:IFERLPRINT" at line ";ERL:ENDELSEPRINT:END
