SIC, exit routine. A sub-process has been created earlier by the SYSTEM command. The sub-process is not deleted.
User action : You can attach to this sub-process at any time by the VMS command ATTACH, or delete it by the VMS command STOP.

E-SIC, Too many IF blocks
SIC, monitor routine. You are attempting to nest IF blocks too deeply.
User action : Do not. Find another way to solve your problem.

F-SIC, Too many commands and options. This program is only
dimensioned for <Integer> user-defined commands.

SIC, initialization routine. The program has too many commands and options. Execution aborts.
User action : notify the programmer, who may submit an SPR (even though this is no an error in SIC just a limitation).

F-SIC, Too many languages
SIC, initialization routine. The program has too many languages. Execution aborts.
User action : notify the programmer.

W-SIC, Undefined character expression <string>
Formatting routine. The specified string is not a valid character string. This message is usually preceded by other ones that give additional information.
User action : Correct typing mistake(s)

W-SIC, You are using a demonstration version
SIC. The version of SIC you are using is a demonstration version with a limited validity period (usually 3 to 6 months). Contact the authors about a permanent licence (available at no cost for academic institutions).

E-SYMBOL, Invalid symbol name <String>
SIC, SYMBOL routine. A symbol name must begin with an alphabetic uppercase character.
User action : use a valid name.

F-SYMBOL, SIC is not loaded
SIC, DEFINE_SYMBOL routine. The program attempts to define a symbol before SIC has been initialized. This is a programming error.
User action : notify the programmer.

E-SYMBOL, String too long, translation failed
SIC, monitor routine. The line buffer is too short to accomodate the symbol translation. The command is not executed, and an error occurs.
User action : : If possible shorten your command or symbol translation. Eventually contact the programmer.

E-SYMBOL, Symbol definition too long
SIC, SYMBOL command. The equivalence name is too long. The symbol is undefined.
User action : cut the definition in two symbols and use concatenation when translation is required.

W-SYMBOL, Symbol name too long <String>

E-SYSTEM, Sub-process cannot be activated
SIC, SYSTEM command with or without arguments. The sub-process could not be created because of lack of system resources. The VMS error message follows this error.
User action : If the command had an argument, retry it without as you may connect to an existing subprocess. If this fails, it is generally due to an exceeded quota of subprocesses. If you have other subprocesses running, the SYSTEM command lists the current subprocesses and prompts you to which one you want to attach. If none is available, the SYSTEM command will return you an error.

E-SYSTEM, Sub-process <String> could not be attached
SIC, SYSTEM command without argument, or with option /PROCESS. The programs failed to attach to an existing sub-process, previously created by the SIC$\backslash$SYSTEM command, or by another program. If the option /PROCESS was not present, the command will try to create a new one.
User action : Check process name in case you used the /PROCESS option.

W-SYSTEM, More than <number> sub-processes active
SIC, SYSTEM command with or without arguments. You have reached the maximum number of sub-processes allowed within SIC.
User action : If the command had an argument, retry it without as you may connect to an existing subprocess. If this fails, the SYSTEM command lists the current subprocesses and prompts you to which one you want to attach. If none is available, the SYSTEM command will return you an error.

E-SYSTEM, Sub-process cannot be created
SIC, SYSTEM command with or without arguments. The sub-process cannot be created, usually because of lack of system resources. The VMS error message follows this error.
User action : If the command had an argument, retry it without as you may connect to an existing subprocess. If this fails, it is generally due to an exceeded quota of subprocesses. If you have other subprocesses running, the SYSTEM command lists the current subprocesses and prompts you to which one you want to attach. If none is available, the SYSTEM command will return you an error.
