Retaining error code inside function

[mark smit]

I was under the impression that setting ERROR would retain it's value until a run-time error or ERRCLEAR was called. This seems not to be so. Can anybody explain why this works the way it does?

#compile exe


function SetError(byval ErrorCode as long) as long
         error ErrorCode
         msgbox format$(err,"err = # INSIDE function")
end function


function pbmain as long
         SetError 10
         
         msgbox format$(err,"err = # OUTSIZE function")
end function

Seems to me that error handling is local to a SUB or FUNCTION.
