In this second part of a three part series dealing with how you can handle errors gracefully whilst at the same time capturing as much information as possible, this article looks at the Errorlog file.
Be smart about the argument passed to the startlog() built-in function that creates an Errorlog file. Instead of writing all errors for all programs to a single file, create a separate errorlog file for each running program. This makes the file easier to read in an investigation.
