The [ERR](ERR) function returns the last QBasic error code number.
## Syntax
> errorNum% = [ERR](ERR)
## Description
* If there is no error, the function returns 0
* Can be used in an error handling routine to report the last error code number.
## Example(s)
Simulating an error to test a program error handler that looks for a "Subscript out of range" error.
```vb
ON ERROR GOTO handler
IF x = 0 THEN ERROR 111 'simulate an error code that does not exist
x = x + 1
IF x THEN ERROR 9 'simulate array boundary being exceeded
END
handler:
PRINT ERR, _ERRORLINE
BEEP
IF ERR = 9 THEN
PRINT "The program has encountered an error and needs to close! Press a key!"
K$ = INPUT$(1)
SYSTEM
END IF
RESUME NEXT 'RESUME can only be used in error handlers
```
