I do not quite see, which is the *expected* result - hence, I fail to see what
exactly is considered wrong.

> Expected Results:

Is the "Using VBA, results are different" the whole essence of the report? Then
it looks NOTABUG to me: there's no definition in language or function
*specification* what should be the error code in which situation. Even in VBA
mode, we don't generally have the same errors (even compile-time vs runtime!).

Additionally, the bug report does not mention if this is a request for a change
for the sake of change, or if there is some existing code that fails working
when importing from MSO. I suspect that this is only created as part of
documentation effort, not motivated by a real user problem.

However, *iif* there's not much effort is required to ensure that the errors
*in VBA mode* (only!) follow VBA, then it's fine to implement this. However,
note the "in VBA mode": the concern about the specific error numbers can only
arise when a code is written with specific errors expectation and handling; and
this very expectation is applicable to existing StarBasic code; so if we
introduce *such* changes just to keep some (which?) existing VBA code working
on migration, we definitely must protect our existing users from the same
problem.
