xcall MIAMEX, MX_SETERR, errnum {,chan}
MX_SETERR (MIAMEX 182) triggers an ASB error. It may be useful for testing/debugging error handling routines, as well as for using the error trapping mechanism as a way of passing coded signals (i.e. virtual error codes) from within an arbitrarily nested function/procedure up to the main error trap.
Parameters
errnum (Num) [in]
the ASB error to trigger; sets err(0)
chan (Num) [in]
channel number; sets err(2)
Comments
MX_BASERR is an alias for MX_SETERR, meaning that calls to MX_BASERR invoke MX_SETERR.
