System Error Report

This utility produces a printed or displayed list of system errors that have been recorded during operation of Dictionary-IV. It also displays errors occurred while executing scripts. System errors are recognized by the display of a message on the top line of the screen:

System Error: Pgm-XXXXXX Ln-#### Err-## RETURN=Retry E=End

Pgm

is the Thoroughbred Basic Program in which the error occurred.

Ln

is the program line at which the error occurred.

Err

is the Thoroughbred Basic error condition.

Information on the program and line number in which the error occurred is displayed along with the Thoroughbred Basic error code.

Select System Error Report from the Dictionary-IV Utilities Menu. The system prompts:

Do you want a printed copy?

Select Printer (LP): LP________

Type the name of the printer you wish to use and press Enter. The utility proceeds automatically. The system displays a report similar to following:

System Error Report

Note

The error log has been enhanced to provide the developer with the ability to capture a ‘snapshot’ of the system whenever a runtime error occurs. All information available through the debugger is captured into a log file that may be viewed or reported at a later time. The Error Log selection can be found on the Utility Menu Selection from the OPENworkshop startup menu.

The error log is a record of the last 100 system errors and contains the content of the system error message along with the date and time that the error occurred. After recording 100 errors, the log is recycled.

This utility can be used to verify recurring errors and can be used by the support staff to isolate and identify problems.
