Returns the error number and text.
Err$ [(i)]
Error$ [(i)]
i: integer expression
The Err$(i) function returns the string containing the GFA-BASIC error message for code number i. Without an argument Err$ returns the string for the last error.
The first 152 error numbers are reserved by GFA-BASIC 32. Hardware exceptions are mostly translated to GFA-BASIC 32 errors. When a GFA-BASIC 32 error results from an exception, the exception number constant and the meaning is mentioned as well.
Error$ is a synonym of Err$ and the two are interchangeable.

| 53 | Stackpointer at PasCall Might be the result of a wrong ret instruction in assembler code. A call through a function pointer is guarded with a structured exception handling mechanism, so that an error in the called function is trapped. GFA-BASIC 32 then generates error 53. This error can also come up when the function is called using StdCall and others. |

| 61 | Unknown char in Unicode string GFA-BASIC 32 uses its own (faster) Unicode char conversion functions. An error with conversion results in the error. The conversion functions are heavily used throughout the runtime. |

| 87 | The matrix is not square |
| 88 | The inverse matrix could not be determined |

| 91 | Read: out of data |
| 92 | Read: no data |
| 93 | Guard-Page-Violation (Stack Error) |
| 94 | Datatype-Misalignment EXCEPTION_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT: The thread tried to read or write data that is misaligned on hardware that does not provide alignment. For example, 16-bit values must be aligned on 2-byte boundaries; 32-bit values on 4-byte boundaries, and so on. |
| 95 | Breakpoint (Int 3 = Monitor) EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT: A breakpoint was encountered. |
| 96 | Single-Step (Debugger) EXCEPTION_SINGLE_STEP: A trace trap or other single-instruction mechanism signaled that one instruction has been executed. |
| 97 | Access-Violation EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION: The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access. |
| 98 | In-Page-Error EXCEPTION_IN_PAGE_ERROR: The thread tried to access a page that was not present, and the system was unable to load the page. For example, this exception might occur if a network connection is lost while running a program over the network. |
| 99 | No-Memory |
| 100 | Invalid Assembler Instruction (Illegal-Instruction) EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION: The thread tried to execute an invalid instruction. |
| 101 | Noncontinuable-Exception EXCEPTION_NONCONTINUABLE_EXCEPTION : The thread tried to continue execution after a non-continuable exception occurred. |
| 102 | Invalid-Disposition EXCEPTION_INVALID_DISPOSITION: An exception handler returned an invalid disposition to the exception dispatcher. Programmers using a high-level language such as C (and GFA-BASIC 32) should never encounter this exception. |
| 103 | Array-Bounds-Exceeded EXCEPTION_ARRAY_BOUNDS_EXCEEDED: The thread tried to access an array element that is out of bounds and the underlying hardware supports bounds checking. |
| 104 | Float-Denormal-Operand EXCEPTION_FLT_DENORMAL_OPERAND: One of the operands in a floating-point operation is denormal. A denormal value is one that is too small to represent as a standard floating-point value. |

| 106 | Float-Inexact-Result EXCEPTION_FLT_INEXACT_RESULT: The result of a floating-point operation cannot be represented exactly as a decimal fraction. |
| 107 | Float-Invalid-Operation EXCEPTION_FLT_INVALID_OPERATION: This exception represents any floating-point exception not included in this list. |
| 108 | Float-Overflow EXCEPTION_FLT_OVERFLOW: The exponent of a floating-point operation is greater than the magnitude allowed by the corresponding type. |
| 109 | Float-Stack-Check EXCEPTION_FLT_STACK_CHECK: The stack overflowed or underflowed as the result of a floating-point operation. |
| 110 | Float-Underflow EXCEPTION_FLT_UNDERFLOW: The exponent of a floating-point operation is less than the magnitude allowed by the corresponding type. |
| 111 | Integer-Divide-By-Zero EXCEPTION_INT_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO: The thread tried to divide an integer value by an integer divisor of zero. |
| 112 | Integer-Overflow EXCEPTION_INT_OVERFLOW: The result of an integer operation caused a carry out of the most significant bit of the result. |
| 113 | Privileged-Instruction (I/O Ports for NT) EXCEPTION_PRIV_INSTRUCTION: The thread tried to execute an instruction whose operation is not allowed in the current machine mode. |
| 114 | Stack-Overflow EXCEPTION_STACK_OVERFLOW: The thread used up its stack. |
| 115 | Control-C-Exit DBG_CONTROL_C: ctrl+c is input to a console process that handles ctrl+c signals and is being debugged. This exception code is not meant to be handled by applications. It is raised only for the benefit of the debugger, and is raised only when a debugger is attached to the console process. |
