Error classes

Error classes describe errors for system packages. ODABA errors refer to different error classes.

Errors are usually logged in the error.lst file, which is stored in the directory referenced i the trace option variable. When no TRACE option has been set, the error log is written to the TEMP directory according to system conventions. The error log-file is provided with the format

( yyyy / mm / dd hh : mm : ss ) eClass - eType eNumber class :: function (eDescription)

The file has a fixed column formatting for better readability in text editors. For tailing the file in a console it is useful reformat it first.

More details about how to use errors are described in User's Guide/ODABA error definitions .

In order to suppress writing errors to console or in message boxes, the SUPPRESS_ERROR option may be set to YES . This will not affect writing errors to error protocol.
