Programming Issue : "Error : Variable or Flash application is locked, protected or archived"

I just started using the TI-89 Titanium calculator, and I'm working on programming. When I launch my "headtail" program, it prints the above error. When I click "Go to", the pointer goes on the line ":Prompt a" I don't think the rest of my program is a problem, but here is what I did : :headtail() :Prgm :Disp "Head(0) or Tail(1)?" :Prompt a :Rand(2) -> b :If a=b :Then :Disp "WINNER!" :Else :Disp "Loser :-(" :EndIf :EndPrgm

Apparently the variable "a" is archived or locked. Press 2ND VAR-LINK (the subtract key). Find the line containing "a". If there's a little x-like thing to the left then its archived. Press F1 9 to unarchive it. If there's a little padlock to the left then its locked. Press F1 7 to unlock it.

    Thanks so much! That was the problem. The variable was already in use because I called an other program "a". Noted! thx!

SOURCE: error in running program

I agree with the previous solution and would like to add if you declare your variables using the local command then they will only reside in that program.
:prgm
:local db, e, plus other variable used in your program with a comma to separate them.
:prompt

And I think what the above solution is saying is to :Disp "k",k would work better.
I hope you used the Ti commands and not the ones you spell out on your listing, if so you might want to check them too. The store command I can understand why you typed it out.

I like the fact you want to program so remember fixYa to help you develop your programming.

SOURCE: I receive the error "Missing

Put an EndFor command 2 lines down from the For j,1.n/2 line. Right above y1(p) store p. You'll have to have a 0 store p inserted into the program or, you'll get a circular error. I put mine right under input n. Also where you store 0 in s and v.
