Overview

Although the Message Reporting System could be used for reporting errors, there are a number of considerations which demand that separate facilities are available for this:

These considerations have led to the design and implementation of a set of subroutines which form the Error Reporting System. The subroutines have names of the form:

ERR_name

where name indicates what the subroutine does. These subroutines work in conjunction with the Message System and allow error messages to incorporate message tokens.
