?SRH	Cannot Find "17"
A search command not preceded by a colon modifier and not
within an iteration has failed to find the specified character
string "17".
After an S search fails the pointer is left positioned
at the beginning of the buffer.  After an N or _ search fails
the last page of the input file has been input and, in the
case of N, output, and the buffer cleared.
?ARG	Improper Arguments
The following argument combinations are illegal:
1)	,	(no argument before comma)
2)	m,n,	(where m and n are numeric terms)
3)	H,	(because H=B,Z is already two arguments)
4)	,H	(H following other arguments)
?BAK	Cannot Delete Old Backup File
Failure in rename process at close of editing job initiated
by an EB command or a TECO command. There exists an old backup
file 04:08.BAK23 that cannot be deleted.
Hence the input file 10 cannot be renamed to "08.BAK".
The output file is closed with the filename "01".
The RENAME UUO error code is 03.
?COR	Storage Capacity Exceeded
The current operation requires more memory storage than TECO now has
and TECO is unable to obtain more core from the monitor.  This message
can occur as a result of any one of the following things:
1)  command buffer overflow while a long command string is being typed,
2)  Q-register buffer overflow caused by an X or [ command,
3)  editing buffer overflow caused by an insert command or
    a read command.
?COS	Contradictory Switches
The GENLSN and SUPLSN switches may not both be
given in the same file specification.
?DDI	Double Device Illegal
A file specification that contains two or more device names has
been detected.  A correctly formed file specification contains
at most one device name.
?DEX	Double Extension Illegal
A file specification that contains two or more extensions has
been detected.  A correctly formed file specification contains
at most one extension.
?DFN	Double File Name Illegal
A file specification that contains two or more filenames has
been detected.  A correctly formed file specification contains
at most one filename.
?EBD	EB with Device 04 Is Illegal
The EB command and the TECO command may be specified only with
file structured devices, i.e., disk and DECtape.
?EBF	EB with Illegal File 02
The EB command and the TECO command may not be used with a file
having the filename extension ".BAK", or with a file on a disk
device having either of the extensions "."UFD" or ".SFD", or with
a file having the name "nnnTEC.MMP" where nnn is the user's job number.
The user must either use an ER-EW sequence, or rename the file.
?EBO	E00 Before Current EB Job Closed
After an output file has been opened by a TECO command or an EB
command, no further EB, EW, or EZ commands may be given until
the current output file is closed.
?EBP	EB Illegal Because of File 02 Protection
The file 15 cannot be edited with an
EB command or a TECO command because it has a protection <07>
such that it cannot be renamed at close time.
?EMA	EM With Illegal Argument 06
The argument n in an nEM command must be greater than zero.
?EMD	EM With No Input Device Open
EM commands apply only to the input device, and so should be preceded
by an ER (or equivalent) command. To position a tape for output, that
unit should be temporarily opened for input while doing the EM commands.
?ENT	13
00Illegal Output Filename "02"
ENTER UUO failure 0. The file 15 specified for
output cannot be used. The format is invalid.
01Output UFD [05] Not Found
ENTER UUO failure 1. The file 15 specified
for output by an EW, EZ, or MAKE command cannot be created
because there is no user file directory with project-programmer
number [05] on device 04.
02Output Protection Failure
ENTER UUO failure 2. The file 15 specified
for output by an EW, EZ, EB, MAKE, or TECO command cannot be created
either because it already exists and is write-protected against
the user, or because the UFD it is to be entered into is write-
protected against the user.
03Output File Being Modified
ENTER UUO failure 3. The file 15 specified
for output by an EW,  EZ, EB, MAKE, or TECO command cannot be created
because it is currently being created or modified by another job.
06Output UFD or RIB Error
ENTER UUO failure 6. The output file 15
cannot be created because a bad directory block was encountered
by the monitor while the ENTER was in progress. The user may try
repeating the EW, EB, or TECO command, but if the error persists,
it is impossible to proceed. Notify your system manager.
14No Room or Quota Exceeded on 04:
ENTER UUO failure 14. The output file 15
cannot be created because there is no more free space on device
04:, or because the user's quota is already exceeded there.
15Write Lock on 04:
ENTER UUO failure 15. The output file 15
cannot be created because the output file structure is write-locked.
16Monitor Table Space Exhausted
ENTER UUO failure 16. The output file 15
cannot be created because there is not enough table space left
in the monitor to allow the ENTER. The user may try repeating the
EW, EB, or TECO command, but if the error persists he will have to
wait until conditions improve.
21Cannot Supersede an Existing Directory
ENTER UUO failure 21.  The output file 15
is a directory file (probably an SFD), and an old copy already
exists.  The monitor will not allow directory files to be
superseded, since the files that the directory contains would
be lost if this were allowed.
23Output Path [05] not Found
ENTER UUO failure 23. The output file 15
cannot be created because some sub-file-directory in the path
on which it should be ENTERed cannot be found.
24Search List Empty for Device 04:
ENTER UUO failure 24. The output file 15
cannot be created because the user's file structure search list
is empty.
25Output SFD Nested too Deeply
ENTER UUO failure 25. The output file 15
cannot be created because the specified SFD path for the ENTER
is nested too deeply.
26No Creates Allowed in Specified Path
ENTER UUO failure 26. The output file 15
cannot be created because all file structures in the specified
search list that contain the default or explicit path are either
software write-locked, or have been set to /NOCREATE.
ENTER Failure 03 on Output File 02
The attempted ENTER of the output file 15
has failed and the monitor has returned an error code of 03.
This error is not expected to occur on an ENTER. Please send the
TTY printout showing what you were doing to DEC with an SPR form.
?EOA	06EO Argument Too Large
The argument 06 given with an EO command is larger than the
standard (maximum) setting of EO=16 for this version of TECO.
This must be an older version of TECO than the user thinks he
is using; the features corresponding to EO=06 do not exist.
?FNF	13
00Input File 02 Not Found
LOOKUP UUO failure 0.  The file 15
specified for input by an ER, EB, or TECO command cannot be found.
01Input UFD [05] Not Found
LOOKUP UUO failure 1. The file 15
specified for input by an ER, EB, or TECO command cannot be found
because there is no User File Directory with project-programmer
number [05] on device 04.
02Input Protection Failure
LOOKUP UUO failure 2. The file 15
specified for input by an ER, EB, or TECO command cannot
be read because it is read-protected against the user.
06Input UFD or RIB Error
LOOKUP UUO failure 6. The input file 15
cannot be read because a bad directory block was encountered
by the monitor while the LOOKUP was in progress. The user may
try repeating the ER, EB, or TECO command, but if the error
persists all is lost. Notify your system manager.
16Monitor Table Space Exhausted
LOOKUP UUO failure 16. The input file 15
cannot be read because there is not enough table space left in
the monitor to allow the LOOKUP. The user may try repeating the
ER, EB, or TECO command, but if the error persists he will have
to wait until conditions improve.
23Input Path [05] not Found
LOOKUP UUO failure 23. The input file 15
cannot be found because some sub-file-directory in the path on
which it should be looked up cannot be found.
24Search List Empty for Device 04:
LOOKUP UUO failure 24. The input file 15
cannot be found because the user's file structure search list is empty.
25Input SFD Nested too Deeply
LOOKUP UUO failure 25. The input file 15
cannot be found because the specified SFD path for the LOOKUP
is nested too deeply.
LOOKUP Failure 03 on Input File 02
The attempted LOOKUP on the input file 15
has failed and the monitor has returned an error code of 03.
This error is not expected to occur on a LOOKUP. Please send the
TTY printout showing what you were doing to DEC with an SPR form.

?UUO	Illegal UUO
Internal error. The illegal instruction 05 has been
encountered at address 06. This is caused by either a TECO bug
or a monitor bug. Please give this printout to your system manager,
or submit it to DEC with an SPR.
?EEE	Unable to Read Error Message File
An error, whose code was typed previous to this error message, has
occurred, and while TECO was trying to find the proper error message
in the error message file, one of the following errors occurred:
1) the error message file, TECO.ERR, could not be found on device SYS:,
2) an input error occurred while TECO was reading the file TECO.ERR,
3) the error message corresponding to that error code is missing
   from TECO.ERR,
4) the user's TECO job does not currently have enough room for a
   buffer to read the error message file into, and no more core can
   be obtained from the monitor,
5) for some strange reason device SYS: could not be initialized for
   input.
Note:	This message can obviously never be typed. It is included
	for the purpose of documentation. Also the question mark
	with which it begins serves as the terminator for the
	last real error message.

Documentation for TECO.ERR:

This file is made up entirely of ASCII text.  It
contains one entry for each TECO error number.
the format of an entry is as follows:
1)  first character is a question mark,
2)  followed by a three letter code,
3)  followed by a tab,
4)  followed by a brief explanation of the error,
5)  followed by a carriage return-line feed,
6)  followed by one or more lines that more fully explain the error.
The entry is terminated by the question mark that begins the next entry,
or by ^A, ^B, ..., ^H.
This file should not have any form feeds and there should be no
blank lines between entries. There must be no question marks
except to begin each message.

Note:	At certain places in this file there are control-N characters.
	These signal TECO to type out special information at that point.
	The information typed is determined by the two digit number
	following the ^N, as follows:
00   type last character seen in command string
01   type name of output file
02   type filename referenced by UUO (from XFILNM)
03   type monitor error code from XEXT
04   type device name from OPNBLK
05   type path from PTHBLK
06   type first numeric argument
07   type file protection from XPRV
08   type EB filename without extension
09   type input filename
10   type EB command input filename
11   type I/O error flags
12   type missing command string tag
13   get monitor error code from XEXT and skip to the
      string ^Axx, where xx is a two digit octal number, then start
      typing text at the character after xx.
      If ^Axx is not found before ^B is encountered,
      start printing immediately after the ^B.
14   get device error code and skip as with ^N13
15   equivalent to 04:0223
16   type EOVAL for this version of TECO
17   type search text argument
18   type character in AC 3
19   type sixbit I/O switch
20   type EB path in square brackets if the EB device is a disk
21    type the  input file in the form dev:file.ext[path]
22    type the output file in the form dev:file.ext[path]
23    type the path from PTHBLK in square brackets if the
      device in OPNBLK is a disk, otherwise type nothing
