Description

The SET ERRORWINDOW command is used to enable or disable the use of error windows. A window is an area of the screen designated for output and input. Windows are defined with the DEFINE WINDOW command, and are activated with the ACTIVATE WINDOW command. There is no limit to the number of windows you may define. An error window is a window that automatically activates itself and displays error messages, and a button marked Confirm. Pressing the [RETURN] key deactivates error windows. Error windows are specified by including the ERROR keyword with the DEFINE WINDOW command.

When SET ERRORWINDOW is ON, error windows activate whenever an error occurs. When SET ERRORWINDOW is OFF, error messages display in the currently active window.

Example
