Mapping OT Error Numbers to theirNames


Q: How do I map Open Transport error numbers to their names?

A: There are two ways to do this. The first is the "OTErr" MacsBug 'dcmd' that ships with the debugging version of OT. This 'dcmd' allows you to quickly map an error number to a (sometimes) meaningful error name. Once you install it in your Debugger Prefs file, you can type, for example, "oterr -3271" in MacsBug and get the name for that error.

The second solution is the Open Transport Errors Decoder, included here as a public service.
