**SetId(**// error id //**), PROTECTED**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **SetId** | Makes the specified error the current one. |
| //error id// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression that indicates which error definition is current. |

The **SetId **method makes the specified error the current one for processing by other ErrorClass methods. If more than one error definition matches the specified //error id//, the last defined error is used. This lets errors defined later override earlier defined errors with the same ID, while preserving the earlier defined errors for substitution into the %Previous macro symbol.

This method is PROTECTED, therefore, it can only be called from an ErrorClass method, or a method in a class derived from ErrorClass.

**Implementation:**

The ABERROR.INC file contains a list of default EQUATEs for the //error id //parameter.

**Example:**

**ErrorClass.TakeError PROCEDURE(SHORT Id)**

**  CODE**

** SELF.SetId(Id)**

** CASE SELF.Errors.Fatality**

** OF Level:Benign**

**  RETURN SELF.TakeBenign()**

** OF Level:User**

** OROF Level:Cancel**

**  RETURN SELF.TakeUser()**

** OF Level:Program**

**  RETURN SELF.TakeProgram()**

** OF Level:Fatal**

**  RETURN SELF.TakeFatal()**

** OF Level:Notify**

**  SELF.TakeNotify()**

**  RETURN Level:Notify**

** ELSE**

**  RETURN SELF.TakeOther()**

** END**
