# SETERRA
Fortran-only macro that can be called when an error has been detected from the main program 
## Synopsis
```
#include <petscsys.h>
PetscErrorCode SETERRA(MPI_Comm comm,PetscErrorCode ierr,char *message)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***comm -*** A communicator, so that the error can be collective
- ***ierr -*** nonzero error code, see the list of standard error codes in include/petscerror.h
- ***message -*** error message in the printf format





## Notes
This should only be used with Fortran. With C/C++, use `SETERRQ()`.

`SETERRQ()` may be called from Fortran subroutines but `SETERRA()` must be called from the
Fortran main program.


## See Also
 `SETERRQ()`, `SETERRABORT()`, `PetscCall()`, `CHKERRA()`, `PetscCallAbort()`
