Abstract
A method and apparatus for efficiently generating engine error codes is disclosed. An error processing system according to the present invention includes an error table describing error states for use in generating error codes based upon the an error even, an engine for providing an error event and an error processor, coupled to the engine and the error table, the error processor including a general run time error generator for generating a list of errors according to the error table. Accordingly, modifications may be made to the error table for changes to the product error specification and for new products that do not necessitate a re-coding of the error processing system.
