Pro/I Error Details.

[nikhil_jogi]

Hi All

I am writing a Pro/I toolkit programme and was wondering if Pro/I gives any clear description of errors other than the error number. e.g. when I enter wrong login info, it returns me error # 501 but no details even after using APIs PDMErrorGetDetails and PDM ErrorDumpStack.
I was wondering if there is any way I can connect error number with error description. I have to go to cerror.h include file everytime to check what is the error number and what it means.
Let me know if anybody knows a solution other than me manually making the connection through my code.

Regards
Nikhil

Nikhil,
There is a function called PDMLoadMessages but last I heard it was non
functional. What your're going to have to do is something like this:

void PDMUtilErrGetEnumString(PTCERROR status, char *errStr) {
switch(status) {
case PDM_SUCCESS:
strcpy(errStr, "SUCCESS");
break;
case PDMERR_INTERNAL_ERROR:
strcpy(errStr, "INTERNAL_ERROR");
break;
case PDMERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED:
strcpy(errStr, "NOT_IMPLEMENTED");
break;
....
}

I coded my own error reporting functions much like PDMTestError.c but with
more functionality. You should check out PDMTestError.c.
