New Clear Errors VI would keep a History of Cleared Errors

Status: Declined
Declining this idea for the following reasons: This would introduce state into a VI used ubiquitously across applications, including VIs running as part of LabVIEW's editor itself. It would make a global variable a standard for LabVIEW programming. And it would turn a fairly light weight VI into one that has the overhead of an array copy on every invocation.

This proposed new VI would expand upon the Clear Errors VI, and keep a history of the error codes that have been cleared. Ideally, it would have a History Length input (not shown) that, when not wired, would default to 1024 errors.

Six years later, I still want this.

I agree with NI that this would require some sort of global. Or some accumulation or errors in the error cluster. I'd want neither.

 

Why don't you make it if you want it? I'm not sure why NI needs to make this.
