SET ERRORLOG

Defines the default error log file.

Syntax

SET ERRORLOG TO <cLogFile> [ADDITIVE]

Arguments

<cLogFile>

This is the name of the file that stores information about runtime errors. The default file is named "Error.log"

ADDITIVE

If this option is specified, new error information is appended to the log file. Otherwise, <cLogFile> is overwritten when a new error occurs.

Description

The SET ERRORLOG command is used in customized error handling routines where error information about runtime errors is written to a user-defined file. By default, runtime error information is stored in the Error.log file.

Note:  xHarbour's default error handling routine is programmed in the file ERRORSYS.PRG.
