Looking in My book, it describes "E" in the last data field as follows. Load error. This function code is not programmed as part of a pattern step. The controller uses the E code as an error marker. While a pattern program is being loaded into memory,the controller checks the format of each pattern step. If an error is detected in a pattern step, the controller changes the function code of that step to an E. After the pattern is loaded, the controller displays the following message. {patern name} IN MEMORY ERROR DETECTED I would double check the whole program, all data fields. Also, I have been taught to make the first step in a program all zeros with D O in the 8 and 9 data fields for step and repeat. Hope this helps.

Ensure that there is no space or extra characters at the end of the line. Use "END" key, if cursor does not stop directly behind you insert code, then that is most likely our problem.

I have found that MS-Dos Editor is better suited for PPU programs.
