Tracing the Error

The error message that displays in CIW indicates that myFunction2 expects two arguments and only one argument is passed:

***Error in routine myFunction2:

Message: *Error* myFunction2: too few arguments (2 expected, 1 given) - (1)

The debugger stops at line number 12 and highlights it in red:

myList = myFunction2(i)

Examining the Call Stack to Trace the Error

To find which function called myFunction2 with the wrong number of arguments, do the following:

1. Choose Window – Assistants – Stack. The Stack assistant displays the current call stack.
   
   
   The call to errorHandler is at the bottom of the call stack frame; the call to myFunction1 is at the top.
2. Click or choose Debug – Stop All Debugging to terminate debugging.
