>  VAR2 =
>  VAR3 = 20

>- Attempt to use an output number in an equation without using the brackets
>  EQUATIONS 2
>  VAR1 = [1,1]*10.0  ! OK
>  VAR2 = 10.0+1,1    ! INCORRECT

>- Go to Debug/Exceptions
>- Select all exceptions, check "Stop always" and

>- Press SHIFT+F5 to abort the program
>- Press F5 again to enter the program in Debug
