invalid array descriptor Facility: DEBUG, VMS Debugger Explanation: An array descriptor in the image does not have the correct format. This can be caused by a reference to a VAX BASIC array when the first line of the program has not been executed. The array is not set up correctly until the BASIC program initialization is done. This message can also be caused by a user program or DEPOSIT commands altering a compiler generated array descriptor. User Action: If the reference is to a VAX BASIC array, enter a STEP or GO command to ensure that the BASIC program initialization is done and then repeat the reference. Otherwise, if an array descriptor has not been altered, submit a Software Performance Report.
