How can I understand what it is ?

The screenshot means that this isn't easily seen, and not possible to search... Please copy+paste messages as text.

The message contained says that there's an error in there codegen (or the parser). Please provide a minimal example for this.

If you remove the "VALUE ZERO from the table and do a "move zeros to
sudoku-Table" at beginning of proc div does it fix it ?

I am assuming here you are using v3.2 of GC, yes ?

Ignore my previous response,

I just tried it on my copy and produces same fault using initialise
SUDOKU-TABLE.

This does assume that the fault lies with the table but the error
message could be any thing.

I have been getting some strange error messages using v3.2 and v3.3 that
did not occur with any earlier version.

Code complained about is in sudoku.c lines as reported and shows as :

/ initialize field IDX /
  b_201 = 1;

/ initialize field IDY /
  b_203 = 1;

These are not used any where else nor in the other generated sudoku.c or
.h files that I could find.
