System Message Detail Strings

Some processes return strings of technical information for system messages such as errors. The strings contain a uniquely identifying error reference number, followed by various fields of information. The fields are delimited by semicolons, and each field has a label that is followed by a colon, as in this example:

Error Reference Number: {219EB33B-BF50-11D6-A43E-0000863DCCF1}
Num: 0x800415c6; Type: 1; DTime: 1/3/12 12:20:10 PM; Svr: SERVER1; File: CHsxServerImpl.cpp; Line: 1842; Ver: 3.0.0.196;
