ERror trapping

How can I get the meaning of the number in @error ? I want to include the

error's description in my error log file.

Is an @error <> 0 the same thing as a COM error ?

meaning of @error? For which function????

As /dev/null said earlier you will need to know what function your working with and look in the help file for that function and find out what the possible @errors may be.

Then do something like this

$var = FileRead("C:\me")
select
Case @error = 1 
    MsgBox(0, "", "file not opened in read mode or other error")
Case @error = -1
    MsgBox(0, "", "end-of-file is reached")
EndSelect

Yes, I have seen the explanations of the @error code, which differ depending

on the function call. I was hoping the error description was stored in a known

location, like another @macro that always holds the meaning of the @error code.
