What is an ERR file?

An ERR file is a text file that contains error messages generated by a program. It is typically written as a program loads, executes, or closes and is often used by software developers when testing or profiling programs.

More Information

Since programs often print to standard "out" and standard "err" streams when run, a developer may choose to redirect this output to a log.out file for normal output and log.err for error output. Both files may be appended rather than overwritten between runs of the program so that the history is maintained over successive runs.

An ERR file may also be created by Microsoft Visual FoxPro when errors occur during the compilation of a database application. It contains a list of any issues encountered, such as syntax errors, missing files, or other problems that prevent the application from compiling successfully. ERR files help developers identify and resolve errors in their code.

More Information

Developers often review ERR files to correct specific errors to ensure the application runs smoothly. They are not a part of the final application distribution but a helpful resource during the development and debugging process.

NOTE: The last version of Visual FoxPro was 9.0, which Microsoft published in 2007.
