gsc_error table — gscer

This table defines all the application errors that can occur, providing summary and full descriptions for the errors. The summary description is shown first, with an option to display a longer description, if available. The use of error codes from this table aids in customizing error messages.

Table 5–1 lists the table’s FLA, fields, and foreign keys.

ERR — Error
WAR — Warning
QUE — Question

The default is ERR for Error if nothing is set up.

Errors in multiple languages are supported, if required.
