GET EXTENDED ERROR INFORMATION

Family API

Input

AH = 59h
BX = 0000h

Return

      AX = extended error code (see #01680)
BH = error class (see #01682)
BL = recommended action (see #01683)
CH = error locus (see #01684)
ES:DI may be pointer (see #01681, #01680)
CL, DX, SI, BP, and DS destroyed

Notes

Notes: functions available under DOS 2.x map the true DOS 3.0+ error code into

  one supported under DOS 2.x
you should call this function to retrieve the true error code when an
  FCB or DOS 2.x call returns an error
under DR DOS 5.0, this function does not use any of the DOS-internal
  stacks and may thus be called at any time
