Error message examples

 In an attempt to assign to the slice of an array, the position
       @ = 'a'
 is non-numeric.

Cause

While assigning to a slice of an array, you have passed a non-numeric value as the second parameter to the Slice function, which expects it to be an integer. The following piece of code would trigger this error as 'a' is textual and not numeric.

...

Slice(Array_A, 'a') := 417;

Remedies

Correct the second parameter to the Slice function to be an integer.
