Error Dialog Advice?

[Phil Davis]

Hi Scott,

 From the errorDialog page in the docs:

---start---
A list of possible execution errors is contained in the "cErrorsList" property 
of the first card of the stack "revErrorDisplay". You can view the list with the 
following statement:

   answer the cErrorsList of card 1 of stack "revErrorDisplay"

  Note:  The exact format of the errorContents may change from release to release.
---end---

What I've done in the past is copy the contents of the above customProperty into 
a field of my own and experiment with lookups of lines in it until I get the 
right info for the given error. I never can remember which of those numbers 
represents what.

HTH -
