Abstract
The software error handling determines the nature of the fault and takes different action depending upon the nature of the fault. If the fault prevents the data processing system from continued reliable operation, then the element causing the fault is immediately disabled. Otherwise, the element which is the source of the fault is treated so that it does no harm to the system and causes no further faults. The element can then be completely handled during normal software status checks.
