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

Synopsis

#include <imsls.h>

long imsls_error_code ( )

Return Value

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

Example

In this example, stopping on IMSLS_TERMINAL error messages is turned off and an error is then generated by calling function imsls_error_options with an illegal value for IMSLS_SET_PRINT. The error message code number is then retrieved and printed. In imsls.h, IMSLS_INTEGER_OUT_OF_RANGE is defined to be 132.

#include <imsls.h>
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
    long        code;
                                /* Turn off stopping IMSLS_TERMINAL */
                                /* messages and print error messages */
                                /* on standard output */
    imsls_error_options(IMSLS_SET_STOP, IMSLS_TERMINAL, 0,
                       IMSLS_SET_ERROR_FILE, stdout,
                       0);
                                /* Call imsls_error_options() with */
                                /* an illegal value */
    imsls_error_options(IMSLS_SET_PRINT, 100, 0,
                       0);
                                /* Get the error message code */
    code = imsls_error_code();
    printf("error code = %d\n", code);
}

Output

*** TERMINAL error from imsls_error_options.  "type" must be between 1 and
***          5, but "type" = 100.

error code = 132
