ERROR OUT + STATUS conflict

When using Labview 2017, I can successfully write to a text file  but the Boolean indicator (read status) from the STATUS portion of the ERROR OUT indicates it as FALSE, where as the STATUS in the ERROR OUT array shows it as a TRUE value.

 

Why the conflict of status?

They are saying the same thing, the error indicator is FALSE (checkmark means good). It will turn to a red X when the error indicator is TRUE. Sometimes the native LabVIEW functions give you a code with no error (warning), but I've never seen an error with no code.

OK that explains it. I guess it is more intuitive to me that a check mark would be a TRUE state of status.

No problem, I'm sure you're not the first to be confused by it. The "silver" themed one is even worse, with green being false and red being true, giving color-blind people not much help at all!
