Abstract
A method of processing application execution errors in a data processing system includes recording function state changes of an application program during execution of the application program as a bitmap. The recorded bitmap is retrieved as a result of an application execution error. The application execution error may be identified using said bitmap.
Claims18
A method of processing application execution errors in a data processing system, said method comprising:
- recording function state changes of an application program during execution of the application program as a bitmap;
- retrieving said recorded bitmap in response to an application execution error;
- and
- identifying said application execution error using said bitmap.

A program product, comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium;
- and
- program code stored within the computer readable storage medium configured for performing a process including:
- registering function state changes of an application program during execution of the application program;
- generating a bitmap using said function state changes;
- and
- outputting said bitmap when said application execution results in an error condition.
