Coding a stack trace into LotusScript libraries eases error handling
You may be familiar with Java's stack trace information. Did you know you can also code a stack trace into your LotusScript libraries and agents? Use this quick code in your Lotus Notes environment.
Once I became familiar with Java's stack trace information, I found that receiving the Lotus Notes error message: "Object Variable Not Set" no longer helped me properly trap and manage errors.

I've found a way to code a stack trace into LotusScript libraries and agents. The trick is that you must have an error trap in every sub, function or method to capture useful information. Then, the code will build the stack as each error trap is tripped.
Following is output from my example:
Error: method ExampleClass.setup()
has not been implemented.
at [Exampleclass.New( ): 11]
at [getObject('abstract').Getexampleobject: 8]
at [ExampleAgent.Initialize( ): 13]
