The Bad Command occurs when trying to send or save a program that either has no space allocated for it or has a wrong allocation. For example, the error occurs when:
A) You have allocated the register for no employees, but you either try to send 5 employees via PC/POLL or save the Employee file.
B) The register is allocated for 5 employees, but you try to send 6 using PC/POLL.
