I don't recall this VI. Is it used by some driver or did you use it in some old version of LabVIEW?

[staunton]

Yes it was used in an old driver by a former colleage of mine, which i have to modify, i can copy and paste this from his VI but was just wondering if it was still available, the VI itself is shaped like a speech bubble in the block diagram, and it does show up in the context help dialog box, which is why i thought it should be still around somewhere, but it seems like its not.

thanks for your response,

The VI could have been modified from simple or general error handler by whoever wrote the driver. Also, any VI with a entry in the VI Description of VI Properties will the text displayed in the context window, not just VI's from NI.

i found this subVI also in an example VI shipped with V6.1, find examples>hardware input and output>GPIB>LabVIEW<->gpib.vi

Yup, I see it, and here's the revision history:

-rev. 1 28 Jun 1994 00:57:15 Apostolos K
-SubVIs of this VI were modified.
-VI was converted from LabVIEW version 3.0.1 to LabVIEW version 3.1a16.

1994!!!

If you need it, just copy it from its current location to somewhere in your
VI folder:
LabVIEW 6.1\examples\instr\smplgpib.llb\GPIB Error Report.vi
