OUTERR()
Write a list of values to the standard error device
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
OUTERR(<exp list>) --> NIL
Arguments
<exp list> is a list of values to display and can consist of any
combination of data types including memo.
Returns
OUTERR() always returns NIL.
Description
OUTERR() is identical to OUTSTD() except that it writes to the standard
error device rather than the standard output device. Output sent to the
standard error device bypasses the CA-Clipper console and output devices
as well as any DOS redirection. It is typically used to log error
messages in a manner that will not interfere with the standard screen or
printer output.
Examples
. This example displays an error message along with the date and
time of occurrence to the screen:
OUTERR("File lock failure", DATE(), TIME())
Files Library is CLIPPER.LIB.
