I (think I) see what you did there 
I'm brazilian and english (well, human languages in general) aren't my best skill, so, sorry by my english. (if you want we can speak in C# or VB.Net =p)

The fact you commented, says you did. Obviously, you and I are more subtle than the others.

English is my first language and I didn't get it. That or my memory had a stack-overflow problem so I forgot what you meant. I think my memory is on RAM that doesn't get refreshed too often, I forget what I'm

I'm sure there are lots, however, the one that is currently getting on my nerves is "File not found" being thrown by one of my Python scripts when I try to import a library, despite the fact I damn well know it's installed and working. Python seems very flakey when it comes to libraries, particularly on Windows. One day it works the next it doesn't.

"An unexpected error has occured"[^] - you mean, as opposed to a totaly expected error, then?

You should expect exceptions whenever you do something which your code can't guarantee to be successful. And you should write code to catch and handle the problems you expect. Whenever an exception lands in a general exception handler, it obviously was not expected and not really handled, just reported.
But I agree, if that's all a program has to say about an error, then the error handling is a little thin.

That was about the only error reporting you seemed to get with Microsoft C in the DOS days.
Ot at least, the only reporting I can remember. (I couldn't find an image of the DOS screen, where it was that and an "OK" and "Cancel" button, both of which did the same thing: crash.)

Well, I at least tried to tell the user what he had done wrong. Most of the time. Some of the time, probably.
But MS didn't even give a nod towards "user friendly" in those days; it was "user hostile" at best, and "outright hatred" at worst.

Back in my dark COBOL days "Abnormal abend", that could indicate anything.

I'd forgotten that one: OS/360 in my case.
And wasn't the explanation helpfull as well?
"The RTM2WA is pointed to by the TCB of the failing task (field TCBRTWA), and is listed after the abnormally ending TCB."
Why can't you just say "You forgot a comma you idiot" and let us both move on?

Ah yes the compiler messages of MicroFocus COBOL !!! - miss one full-stop (period) and you would get 1000's of errors. Deep joy.

The Zortech C compiler was a bit like that with any syntax mistake (like missing a semicolon or for sure a brace): look at the first error and ignore the other 200 it generated.
|
|
|
|
|
All C compilers are probably like that... even MINGW and MSVC does this till today...
By far, only tcc gives good compile time errors!!

Hahahaha...Reminds me of a COBOL program I wrote in high school. I tried to write a COBOL without the temporary storage. I tried to go from the input field directly to the output field. My one (or two) page program generated 200 pages of error messages.

Hoa!  Well I never programmed any of OS/* or COBOL... But this one looks insane

But usually you got an error code and, if didn't helped, a dump which could be analysed. I got mostly 0C7 errors

Do you work in the Department of Redundancy department?
ABEND means "Abnormal End" ... there was no "Abnormal ABEND".

Hi there, I know what abend means I'm merely stating the error message I received on many occasions.

Is this the same like BYOD? What I really like is BYOB (bring your own bottle)
|

In my circles BYOB would definitely be an exception. Except as a present.
