ABSTRACT:
Error reporting may be enhanced, by utilizing a programming language, such as C++ and its attendant enhanced error reporting facility. The invention generates an error message at the function level where the error occurs, as well as noting the line of source code during which time the error occurred. The resulting populated error message is then rolled up toward the main program. At each preceding roll up level, an additional error message is populated which notes the original error message information as well as adding return path information. Thus, after completed roll up to the main program, stacked error messages are made available to the user that fully define the complete path involving the error, in addition to the identification of the source code line where the error occurred.
