Address Is Nil Escape Code

Description

This escape is reported by routines which take a task address, such as BeginTask, but are given a nil pointer instead. Nil is the return result of TaskAddr when it does not find the name specified. Accordingly, Address Is Nil Escape Code means that the name given to TaskAddr was not found in the symol table. Remember to include prefix path information, such as a plate name, to fully specify the location of a task. This escape code should only be encountered when using the DLL interface. The program detects that the task is not found at compile time rather than run time.
