(HP48) Local variable limit

[DavidM]

Edit: Gerald beat me to the punch on this one. Here's a little more explanation...

(Note: I've deleted my previous post, because I've now seen what the problem actually is... it's not what I said in that last post.)

The internal parser should have seen your program as having a syntax error, but didn't (it should have thought that you were attempting to use a reserved word as a local variable name).

Instead, it is treating that first "END" as the name of a local variable. So it is actually looking for 11 arguments, not 10.

Case in point. On a 49-50g, use →S2 to decompile your program, and you'll see a reference to "LAM END", which is the SysRPL designation for a local ID with the name "END". Sorry about any confusion caused by my previous confusion.
