Hello Ray, 

I also find multiple Error Log entries difficult to navigate for debugging purposes. 

What I do is declare a class variable that I write all of my log information to from all of the functions and then do a single write to the error log to see the results of the execution. I also add the same BRApi.ErrorLog.LogMessage() statement to  the "Catch" clause. 

Public log As New Text.StringBuilder

Try

some BR for-loop

     log.appendline( "message")

end loop

BRApi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, log.ToString)

Catch ex As Exception
' In case of execution error see what has collected in the log so far.  

    BRApi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, log.ToString)
     Throw ErrorHandler.LogWrite(si, New XFException(si, ex))
End Try
