I'm creating some forms that will act like shells around COPY_TABLE, COPY_ROW, etc in my application.

When the actual routines execute and bring back error messages (SSP200 for example) what is the best way to get the error descriptions?

I can see all the errors listed at the operating system level in the REVERROR.DAT file. Is that the best place to pick them up from (Read the file contents in a variable , convert line feeds and ": " to system delimiters and then do a locate ) ?

Or is there some place that already has these in native table format?

Thanks

Hi dave-

I know I just spoke with you on the phone about this, however, in case anyone else has this question…

* Create a generic Message in the U/I workspace ( i.e. MY_ERR )

* do a Get_Status( errInfo )

* call Send_Event to SYSMSG

Send_Event( @WINDOW, "SYSMSG", "MY_ERR", 0, errInfo )

This will fill the Message box with the REVERROR.DAT info.
