# error() function

The error() function retrieves the TCL
command used to activate the program and loads it into a specified
variable.

## Syntax

```
error()
```
The parentheses following the function are required, and
never contain any arguments. Without the parentheses, it is a variable.

Note: This does *not* work from a Proc or from an execute statement.

D3 users are advised to use
the tclread statement instead.

## Example(s)

If the one-line, cataloged program
called test is executed as shown, it displays the command line.

```
test
001 crt error()
```
