The Progress.Lang.Error interface describes a common set of properties and methods that built-in ABL error classes implement to interact with the ABL structured error handling model. This interface cannot be implemented by a user-defined class. Instead, to create your own ABL error class, subclass the Progress.Lang.AppError class.

Because of this architecture, ABL recognizes .NET exceptions as error objects and ABL error handling features can recognize, handle, and re-throw .NET exceptions. The interface requires a class to implement the following properties:
