E2066 Missing operator or semicolon

Problem

If there is no operator between two subexpressions or no semicolon between two statements, this error message displays.

On the previous line, a semicolon is frequently absent.

program Produce;
var
  I: Integer;
begin
  I := 1 2                 (*<-- Error message here*)
  if I = 3 then            (*<-- Error message here*)
  Writeln('Fine')
end.

A ‘+’ operator and a semicolon are missing from the first statement in the example. The first error is reported on this line, and the second is recorded on the next line.

program Solve;
var
  I: Integer;
begin
  I := 1 + 2;              (*We were missing a '+' operator and a semicolon*)
  if I = 3 then
  Writeln('Fine')
end.

You can fix this problem by ensuring that all of the required operators and semicolons are present.
