C0056 Compiler Error

Message text

Illegal for loop initializer expression type: type.

Explanation

You cannot use a non-numeric datatype in an expression in a FOR
loop. . The following script generates C0056:

char lc_ch = 'a'
int li_num
for li_num = lc_ch to 3 // generates C0056: Illegal for
                       // loop initializer expression
                       // type: character
   ...
next

char lc_ch = 'a'

int li_num

for li_num = lc_ch to 3 // generates C0056: Illegal for

// loop initializer expression

// type: character

...
