PC*MILER Rail-Connect contains a number of error handling functions that can be used to diagnose the operation of the DLL as well as to troubleshoot a trip. These functions facilitate the identification of runtime problems while using your application’s interface to PCRSRV32.


All PC*MILER Rail-Connect functions return a negative number on error, with the value being the error code. The function PCRSGetErrorString() will return a text description of the error code passed to it in the given character buffer. A brief description of error codes and messages in PC*MILER Rail-Connect is available here.
