 +This call allows an OS/2 process to receive hard error notification without generating a hard error signal.
 +
 +==Syntax==
 + DosError (Flag)
 +
 +==Parameters==
 +;Flags (USHORT) - input : Bit field, defined in the following example (the unused high-order bits are reserved and must be set to zero).
 + Bit   Description 
 + 15-2  Reserved, set to zero.
 +  
 + 1     0 = Enable exception popups.
 +       1 = Disable exception popups. 
 + 
 + 0     0 = Disable hard error popups (fail requests).
 +       1 = Enable hard error popups.
 +
 +==Return Code==
 + rc (USHORT) - return
 +Return code descriptions are:
 +*0  NO_ERROR
 +*87 ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 +
 +==Remarks==
 +DosError allows an OS/2 process to disable user notification if a program (or untrapped numeric processor) exception occurs. If end user notification is disabled, and if one of these exceptions occurs, the process is terminated.
 +
 +Hard errors generated under a process that has issued a DosError call are failed, and the appropriate error code is returned. The default situation is both hard error pop-ups and exception pop-ups are enabled, if DosError is not issued.
 +
 +===Family API Considerations===
 +Some options operate differently in the DOS mode than in the OS/2 mode. Therefore, the following restriction applies to DosError when coding for the DOS mode:
 +
 +For Flag, a value of 0000 causes all subsequent INT 24s to be failed until a subsequent call with a value of 1 is issued.
 +
 +Note: Since INT 24 is not issued in DOS mode, this call has no effect when running in DOS mode.
