CALLSTKCOUNT | Retrieve the number of stack frames in the call stack.
ERL | Return the line number of the most recent run-time error.
ERL$ | Return the last label, line number, or procedure name executed prior to the most recent error.
ERR | Return the error code of the most recent run-time error.
ERRCLEAR | Return and clear the error code of the most recent run-time error.
ERROR | Cause a specific run-time error to be generated and set ERR.
ERROR$ | Return a string containing the descriptive name of an error.
