In my error method of my form class, I have this:

LPARAMETERS nError, cMethod, nLine
cMsg =  'Error number: ' + STR(ERROR( )) + chr(13)
cMsg = cMsg + 'Error message: ' + MESSAGE( ) + chr(13)
cMsg = cMsg + "The error occurred in : " + cMethod + chr(13)
cMsg = cMsg + "Line #  : " + str(nLine) + chr(13)
thisform.prtmsg(cMsg)

you could assign those globals in here.

Won't help if you are not dealing with a form, I guess. but your could do a little PROC and call it like this

ON ERROR do myErrorProc with ERROR(),MESSAGE()

Where your little proc does whatever you like with those 2 things
