**ERRORCODE( )**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **ERRORCODE** procedure returns the code number for any error that was posted. If no error was posted, ERRORCODE returns zero. You should interrogate ERRORCODE immediately after the statement that you suspect may post an error because processing any other statement that could post an error will clear the internal error code.

| **Return Data Type:** | LONG |

**Example:**

**ADD(Location)              !Add new entry**

**IF ****ERRORCODE****() = 8         !If not enough memory**

** MESSAGE('Out of Memory')  !display message**

**END**
