DbiGetErrorString returns a more detailed message for the error code returned by DbiGetErrorEntry. The application passes the error code and receives the error message. For example, if DbiGetErrorString is called with the error code DBIERR_EOF, it returns the string "At End of Table." BDE keeps the error strings as Windows string resources in the .DLL file with the IDR prefix. This way the application developer can translate or customize them as needed by using a product such as Resource Workshop.
