error = %IO_ERROR(channel, [syserr][, stv])

Return Value

error

The Synergy error number of the last I/O operation on channel. (n)

Arguments

channel

The number of the channel for which errors will be returned. (n)

syserr

(optional) Set to the system error, if one occurred, on the specified channel. (n)

sysstv

(optional) Set to the error generated by the underlying file manager (the DBMS or RMS error number). (n)

Discussion

Unlike %ERROR, %IO_ERROR is not modified by I/O on another channel. All three error numbers are cleared on the next successful I/O on the channel.

Examples

function check_channel, i
    chn         , n
record 
    msg         ,a45
proc
    if (%io_error(chn))
      begin
        xcall ertxt(%io_error(chn), msg)
        writes(TTCHN, "Error#" + %string(%io_error(chn)) + ": " + msg)
        freturn(0)
      end
    else
        freturn(1)
