  ERROR_TEXT

  Returns the text of the latest error message generated by DECTPU.  The
  value returned by ERROR_LINE is only meaningful inside an error handler.
  The value outside of an error handler is indeterminate.

  Syntax

     string := ERROR_LINE

  Parameters

     none

  Example

  The following code fragment is an error handler that uses ERROR_TEXT to
  report what error occurred:

     ON_ERROR
       MESSAGE (ERROR_TEXT);
       MESSAGE ("Error on line " + STR (ERROR_LINE);
       RETURN;
     ENDON_ERROR;
