The error function writes the value of the expressions {exp} to the
Analytic Information Server Console Window, and returns to the top level Analytic Information
Server event loop with the specified error string {errorStr}. If no Console
Window is open, Lisp will open a Console Window. In Lisp, the error function
always terminates the current process, unless enclosed inside an errorTrap
function call (see errorTrap). Furthermore, the error string {errorStr}
argument will always be truncated to 12 characters and will be displayed as an
error constant which is the error text preceded by an exclamation (!) and
terminating with an exclamation (!).
Usage The error function is used to exit out of a function to the top level
(usually to the console) and display an error message.
(error errorStr exp ...) Return value is the !errorStr! constructed as an Analytic Information Server Error value.
The error function also evaluates exp and displays the result on the console.
