Equation too long (Error 4): • The equation exceeded its maximum input buffer (160 charac- ters). An equation must be shorter than 160 characters. No solution (Error 5): • The iteration limit was exceeded while calculating one of the following values in an overly complex problem: • I/Y (TVM solver) • IRR (Discounted cash flow analysis)*1 • YIELD (Bond calculations) *1 If you get an error while calculating IRR, enter an estimated value into RATE(I/Y) and calculate again. Display error (Error 6): • An attempt was made to display "9.999 × 1099" when the display notation tab number was set to "2". If this happens, press s and ~ 0 2 to set the display notation settings to "floating point". Then try again. Input value error (Error 7): • An attempt was made to enter a nonexistent date. Ex. February 30th • An attempt was made to enter an invalid numeric value into a financial calculation. • a negative value or 0 into P/Y or C/Y • anything except an integer between 1 and 9,999 into AMRT P1 or AMRT P2 • a non-integer into DAYS • anything except 1 or 2 into CPN/Y • anything except an integer between 1 and 999 as a cash flow frequency • anything except a positive integer into YEAR • anything except a value between 1 and 13 into START MONTH 77

Equation too long (Error 4):
• The equation exceeded its maximum input buffer (160 charac-
ters).
An equation must be shorter than 160 characters.
No solution (Error 5):
• The iteration limit was exceeded while calculating one of the
following values in an overly complex problem:
• I/Y (TVM solver)
• IRR (Discounted cash flow analysis)
• YIELD (Bond calculations)
If you get an error while calculating IRR, enter an estimated
value into RATE(I/Y) and calculate again.
Display error (Error 6):
• An attempt was made to display “9.999
×
10
99
” when the dis-
play notation tab number was set to “2”.
If this happens, press
s
and
~
0
2
to set the
display notation settings to “floating point”. Then try again.
Input value error (Error 7):
• An attempt was made to enter a nonexistent date.
Ex. February 30th
• An attempt was made to enter an invalid numeric value into a
financial calculation.
• a negative value or 0 into P/Y or C/Y
• anything except an integer between 1 and 9,999 into AMRT
P1 or AMRT P2
• a non-integer into DAYS
• anything except 1 or 2 into CPN/Y
• anything except an integer between 1 and 999 as a cash
flow frequency
• anything except a positive integer into YEAR
• anything except a value between 1 and 13 into START
