I've wrote in previous message that HB_ERRCODE is already existing type. ULONG used in hb_errRT*() functions can be replaced by HB_ERRCODE without any problem because all such ULONG values are simply casted to USHORT in current code. This modification finally breaks binary compatibility, HB_ERRCODE is a value returned by each RDD method and most of public GT functions so we can join it with other modifications introduced recently which also broke binary compatibility. I do not understand why you are asking for DOSERROR() function. For sure when we increase the range of error codes then it stops to be exactly Clipper compatible but we can say the same about error codes in error object and at the beginning of this discussion we decided to change it and drop strict Clipper compatibility. Anyhow DOSERROR() is a little bit specific and it should be declared internally as 'int' (current SHORT definition is wrong) because it should allow to return any value just like main() or WinMain() function. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
