OUTERR()

Write a list of values to the standard error device
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Syntax

        OUTERR( <xExp,...> ) --> NIL  

 Arguments

        <xExp,...>   is a list of expressions to display. Expressions 
                  are any mixture of Harbour data types.

 Returns

        OUTERR()   always returns NIL.    

 Description

      OUTERR() write one or more values into the standard error device.
      Character and Memo values are printed as is, Dates are printed
      according to the SET DATE FORMAT, Numeric values are converted to
      strings, Logical values are printed as .T. or .F., NIL are printed
      as NIL, values of any other kind are printed as empty string. There
      is one space separating each two values. Note that Numeric value can
      take varying length when converted into string depending on its
      source (see STR() for detail).

      There is an undocumented CA-Clipper command line switch //STDERR
      which can set the file handle to write output from OUTERR(). If not
      specified the default STDERR is used, //STDERR or //STDERR:0 set
      OUTERR() to output to the same file handle as OUTSTD(), //STDERR:n
      set output to file handle n. Like other undocumented features this
      switch is available only if source/rtl/console.c was compiled with
      the HB_C52_UNDOC flag.
