C.1.36. Error 40 - Incorrect call to routine.

Explanation:

An incorrect call to a routine was found. Possible causes:

You passed incorrect data (arguments) to the built-in or external routine.
You passed too many arguments to the built-in, external, or internal routine.
The external routine called was not compatible with the language processor.

If you did not try to call a routine, you might have a symbol or a string adjacent to a "(" when you meant it to be separated by a blank or other operator. The language processor would treat this as a function call. For example, write TIME(4+5) as follows: TIME*(4+5)

The associated subcodes are:

001: External routine "routine" failed.
003: Not enough arguments in invocation of routine; minimum expected is number.
004: Too many arguments in invocation of routine; maximum expected is number.
005: Missing argument in invocation of routine; argument argument_number is required.
011: function_name argument argument_number must be a number; found "value".
012: function_name argument argument_number must be a whole number; found "value".
013: function_name argument argument_number must be zero or positive; found "value".
014: function_name argument argument_number must be positive; found "value".
019: function_name argument 2, "value", is not in the format described by argument 3, "value".
021: function_name argument argument_number must not be a null string.
022: function_name argument argument_number must be a single character or null; found "value".
023: function_name argument argument_number must be a single character; found "value".
024: function_name argument argument_number must be a binary string; found "value".
025: function_name argument argument_number must be a hexadecimal string; found "value".
026: function_name argument argument_number must be a valid symbol; found "value".
027: function_name argument 1 must be a valid stream name; found "value".
028: function_name argument argument_number must be a character class name or a single character; found "value".
029: function_name conversion to format "value" is not allowed.
032: RANDOM difference between argument 1 ("value") and argument 2 ("value") must not exceed 999,999,999.
033: RANDOM argument 1 ("argument") must be less than or equal to argument 2 ("argument").
034: SOURCELINE argument 1 ("argument") must be less than or equal to the number of lines in the program (argument).
035: X2D argument 1 cannot be expressed as a whole number; found "value".
043: function_name argument number must be a single non-alphanumeric character or the null string; found "value".
044: function_name argument number, "value", is a format incompatible with the separator specified in argument number.
900: message.
901: Result returned by routine is longer than length: "value".
902: function_name argument argument_number must not exceed the whole number limit.
903: function_name argument argument_number must be in the range 0-99; found "value".
904: function_name argument argument_number must be one of values; found "value".
905: TRACE setting letter must be one of "ACEFILNOR"; found "value".
912: function_name argument argument_number must be a single-dimensional array; found "value".
913: function_name argument argument_number must have a string value; found "value".
914: Unknown VALUE function variable environment selector; found "value".
915: function_name cannot be used with QUEUE:.
916: Cannot read from a write-only property.
917: Cannot write to a read-only property or typelib element.
918: Invalid native function signature specification.
919: Argument argument must have a stem object or stem name value; found "value".
920: function_name argument name must be one of option; found "value".
921: Argument first option ("first value") must be greater than argument second option ("second value").
922: Stem argument does not have a valid count for element 0.
923: The operation is outside the size of the stem array ("value").
924: Stem element at position "position" is not set.
925: Argument argument must be an array object, a stem object, or a stem name value; found "value".
