Abstract
A method of composing and displaying unique error messages is operative in a computer system having an error message subsystem. The error message subsystem is driven by non-contextual information, e.g., a set of previous error conditions, together with a current error condition. If the current error condition has the non-contextual information associated therewith, an error message is composed that is a function of the current error condition and the non-contextual information. Driving the error message subsystem in this manner provides a more robust and useful error messaging service.
