Gaussx

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ342

When compiling Gaussx, why do I get the error: "(0) : error G0276 : 'UNION': Illegal use of reserved word"?

This information applies to Gaussx, Vsn 3.3 and prior.

Symptoms

The error message "error G0276 : 'UNION': Illegal use of reserved word" on compiling Gaussx.

Cause

The version of Gauss for DOS that you are using is vsn 3.2.13 or higher. This includes a new reserved word - 'UNION'. The version of Gaussx that you are using was written prior to this change.

Resolution

1. Run Gaussx with the version of Gauss earlier than 3.2.13.
   
2. Change every mention of the word UNION in the GAUSSX source files to _UNION, and recompile. This is not recommended.
   
3. Update to a newer version of Gauss for DOS.
