Obtaining Error Messages with HPERRMSG The HPERRMSG intrinsic allows you to obtain or display error messages from the system catalog by supplying the corresponding error statuses. The caller can supply a status whose corresponding message is to be displayed or specify that the messages corresponding to one or more errors in the process error stack be displayed. The caller can optionally provide a buffer and ask that the error messages be returned in that buffer rather than displayed to $STDLIST. For errors that are displayed from the process error stack, any parameters that are pushed with the errors are inserted into the corresponding messages. Also, when dumping the entire stack, the system warns you if any entries on the process stack are overwritten. (This happens if more than 16 entries are pushed onto the stack.) If any entries are overwritten, the system overwrites entries starting with oldest entries.
