The '''ERROR''' statement is used to simulate a program error or to troubleshoot error handling procedures.


{{PageSyntax}}
:: ERROR code


* Can be used to test an error handling routine by simulating an error. 
* Error code 97 can be used to invoke the error handler for your own use, no real error in the program will trigger error 97.
* Use error codes between 100 and 200 for custom program errors that will not be responded to by QB64. 


''Example:'' Creating custom error codes for a program that can be handled by an [[ON ERROR]] handling routine.

handler:
{{Cl|PRINT}} {{Cl|ERR}}, {{Cl|_ERRORLINE}}
{{Cl|BEEP}}
{{Cl|RESUME}} {{Cl|NEXT}} '' ''
{{CodeEnd}}
: '''Note: Don't use error codes under 97 or over 200 as QB64 may respond to those errors and interrupt the program!'''
