Error Function
This standard VB function returns the error message that corresponds to the specified error code.
Syntax
Error[$] [(errornumber)]
Returns
The text of the error message corresponding to the error code; if this argument is omitted, Siebel VB returns the error message for the run-time error that has occurred most recently.
If no error message is found to match the error code, a null string ("") is returned.
Usage
The dollar sign ($) in the function name is optional. If it is included, the return type is string. Otherwise the function returns a variant of vartype 8 (string).
The standard VB trappable errors are listed in Trappable Errors
Example
