Hello,
I have a device that returns error codes as integers (error code stored
in a ai record).
The error codes needs to be mapped to the corresponding strings.
I have approximately 300 error codes.
What would you say is the most elegant way to implement the translation?
Custom record? seq? etc.

Thank you for your advice,

I think I would write device support for the stringin record that reads an error code from the device and looks it up in a local table. If I had to do the translation starting with the number in an ai record, I would write an SNL program.
