<br />
The condition for "while" evaluates to an array. It should evaluate to true(non-zero) of false(zero).<br />
<br />
= Cause =<br />
<br />
This error is caused when an array is passed as the condition of a while loop. The following code will produce this error as Time is an array and "Time > 5" will evaluate to an array.<br />
<br />
<code><br />
Var a:= 5; <br><br />
While( Time > 5 ) Do{<br><br />
a++;<br><br />
}<br><br />
...<br />
</code><br />
<br />
= Remedies =<br />
<br />
Correct the condition for the while loop so it evaluates to true or false.<br />
<br />
== Suggested revised message ==<br />
<br />
In a construct "WHILE <b> DO <e>", the condition <b> should be a scalar (true(non-zero) or false(zero)), but not an array. See the User Guide Chapter "Procedural Programming" section on "Ensuring Array Abstraction" on how to deal with this.<br />
