If you're using software that was written to support Reginald's extra features, the error message you see will instead take the form of:

function type function name reported "description"
function type will be "DLL" if the function is contained in some DLL file. Otherwise it will be "EXE" if the function is contained in the software that you used to launch your REXX script. (So, you know what file you should seek a bug fix for, if the problem is not in your script).

name is the name of the add-on function that you called from your REXX script.

description will be the exact error that the function reports. This should tell you exactly what went wrong. Consult the documentation for that software to find suggested cures.
