“Illegal macro label”
[Indicates that the macro label defined in the *DMC command was a legal string syntax,
but could not be accepted by the

example, the label was too long, the same as a common command header, or contained
invalid header syntax.]
Standard
-276
“Macro recursion error”
[Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program data sequence could not be executed
because the device found it to be recursive (see
IEEE 488.
2, 10.7.6.6).]
Standard
-277
“Macro redefinition not allowed”
[Indicates that a syntactically legal macro label in the *DMC command could not be
executed because the macro label was already defined (see
IEEE 488.
2,10.7.6.4).]
Standard
-278
“Macro header not found”
[Indicates that a syntactically legal macro label in the *GMC? query could not be executed
