We can use the ERROR procedure in combination with the MESSAGE procedure to assist in repetitive testing. MESSAGE procedures can be placed in code to show what is happening with an ERROR procedure that's been placed just prior to where the process would normally complete.

The enhanced testing procedurality that's built into Business Central can accomplish the same things in a much more sophisticated fashion, but sometimes there's room for a temporary...
