error_code

Gets the code corresponding to the error message from the last function called.

Synopsis

#include <imsl.h>

long imsl_error_code()

Return Value

This function returns the error message code from the last IMSL function called. The include file imsl.h defines a name for each error code.

Example

This example turns off stopping on IMSL_TERMINAL error messages and generates an error by calling imsl_error_options with an illegal value for IMSL_SET_PRINT. The error message code number is retrieved and printed. In imsl.h, IMSL_INTEGER_OUT_OF_RANGE is defined to be 132.

 

#include <imsl.h>

#include <stdio.h>

 

int main()

{

long code;

/* Turn off stopping IMSL_TERMINAL */

/* messages and print error messages */

/* on standard output. */

imsl_error_options(IMSL_SET_STOP, IMSL_TERMINAL, 0,

IMSL_SET_ERROR_FILE, stdout,

0);

/* Call imsl_error_options() with */

/* an illegal value */

imsl_error_options(IMSL_SET_PRINT, 100, 0,

0);

/* Get the error message code */

code = imsl_error_code();

printf("error code = %d\n", code);

}

Output

 

*** TERMINAL Error from imsl_error_options."type" must be between 1 and 5,

*** but "type" = 100.

 

error code = 132
