I am guessing you are working with a time bind?

Run the numbers through this before testing it.

Code:

proc oct_to_dec {number} {  while {[string index $number 0] == "0"} {    set number [string range $number 1 end]  }  if {$number == ""} { set number 0 }  return $number}

no, more likely its a command expecting the decimal integer 8, but something has prepended it with a 0, thus making tcl try and interprate it as octal (all numbers starting with 0 are treated as octal in tcl). and since 8 is an invalid octal value, it errors

I'd say timer33 is executing a command which is expecting an octal number (eg. 037777777777) and instead it's getting an integer (08). Might be a scan command or a binary command.

What does this mean?

Tcl error in script for 'timer33':
"08" is an invalid octal number
