  • Method and system for displaying error messages
    Patent number: 6115544
    Abstract: A method and system for interactively displaying error messages, such as parser or compiler messages, associated with a user's source code is described. The processors generating the messages may execute on a remote computer. Whether locally or remotely generated, the error messages are stored as error message data entries in an error list. Each entry designates an error type and specifies the location of the error in the source code. When the source code consists of multiple files the identifier of the specific file in which the error was found is also designated. When the error list is displayed for the user, the user may select one error message data entry in the error list and thereby cause the portion of the source code containing the error to be displayed for editing. When the user modifies or deletes the portion of the source code corresponding to a selected error message data entry, the Error List is updated to reflect the modification or deletion.
