Does anyone have...

Does anyone have the list of error codes generated by AutoLISP or where to
find them in the Help?

Thnx for your time.

 

Hi Eli,you must post to "autodesk.autocad.customization",over there more
people expert in autolisp program

 

Open "acad_dev.chm", go to the Index tab, type in "Error", look for
"Error Codes -> Autolisp".

 

I just looked in 2004 and 2005. This is all that is displayed, but nothing
is listed.

"This appendix lists the AutoLISP error codes."

2002 help does show the listing though.

 

Same here (2004) if I try to go through Help in Autocad, but works fine
if I open the file directly in Windows as R. K. McSwain suggested.

Open the VLIDE (Visual Lisp editor) and use the help there. That is a different help file that deals with lisp.

 

I appreciate everyone's input, but that still din't do it.

Here's clarification:
When autolistp routine does not understand a function, as in passing an
integer instead of a list, it issues an error message.
Here's an example of one of these errors:
lselsetp 0

If I'm correct, there's probably 20 or so messages like this that tell the
user what went wrong. The list of these errors was included back in printed
R12 AutoLISP manual and it is this list I'm looking for.

Thanx again.

 

As mentioned a few times, it's in "acad_dev.chm"

I'm not sure how this will render in the newsreader, but I'll paste it
in for you.

AutoLISP Error Codes This appendix lists the AutoLISP error codes.

The following table shows the values of error codes generated by
AutoLISP. The ERRNO system variable is set to one of these values when
an AutoLISP function call causes an error that AutoCAD detects. AutoLISP
applications can inspect the current value of ERRNO with (getvar "errno").

The ERRNO system variable is not always cleared to zero. Unless it is
inspected immediately after an AutoLISP function has reported an error,
the error that its value indicates may be misleading. This variable is
always cleared when starting or opening a drawing.

Note: The possible values of ERRNO, and their meanings, may change in
future releases of AutoCAD. Online program error codes
