Quote:I'm a little confused about how Sesame is handling error message definitions.
I tried to find reference to the above in the manuals and found SBasic Error Messages in Appendix 5 of the Programming Guide.
Other than being unalphabetized and missing definitions for the list of "Internal errors", I found nothing on the above.
The Internal errors are defined in the appendix collectively as "Contact Technical Support". These errors are truly internal to SBasic itself. They indicate a severe failure that is not fixable by User. This is a different class of error than the other error messages, which indicate syntax errors or runtime problems that User can fix.
Quote:Therefore either FSGROUP's error msg. is not an SBasic error msg. (or even an "error" msg.) or its missing from appendix 5.
FSGROUP's error is unrelated to SBasic. It's not "defined" because the message itself is it's own definition. "Application is already being served." means exactly what it says. You will also get that message if you attempt to open an application that another user or server already has open. Normally, you would not want to force the application to unlock. The crash condition is special, and we should probably address it specifically in the next iteration of the manual, more so than we do in Appendices 1 and 5 of the User Guide.
Quote:If it is an SBasic error msg., how many others are missing?
It's not. All the SBasic errors should be listed.
Quote:If its not, exactly kind of msg. is it, how many others are there like it, and where can we find a complete list including definitions? If such a list doesn't exist, should there be a new section added to this forum until the manuals are revised?
It's just a message box, like all the other message boxes, like the ones that warn you that you are exiting without saving a record, or the ones that confirm that you want to delete a record. The message itself tends to be its own definition. If some of them are unclear, we will try to improve the language. Let us know which messages you don't understand.
