$ERR.REX

The   $ERR.REX   (REXX) program is used to issue various formatted error messages from other REXX programs.

The   $ERR.REX   program makes use of the   $T.REX   program to issue the error messages in red (if available).

The help for the   $ERR   REXX program is included here   ──►   $ERR.HEL. <lang rexx>/*REXX program to display error or informational messages (in color, if supported). */
