Description

The error feedback to the tools that are called is done with a return code. In 16-bit window environments, this was not possible. In the error case, an err.log file, with the numbers of errors written into it, was used to signal an error. To state no error, the err.log file was deleted. Using UNIX or WIN32, there is now a return code available. The err.log file is no longer needed when only UNIX or WIN32 applications are involved.

Note: The error file must be created in order to signal any errors if you use a 16-bit maker with this tool.

Example

  -WErrFileOn

The err.log file is created or deleted when the application is finished.

  -WErrFileOff

The existing err.log file is not modified.
