How to count arc errors in RAPID?

I would like to keep track of the number of arc errors that my robot makes during the welding of a workpiece.

Currently, when an error happens, the user is presented with a dialog on the teach pendant where it is possible to move the robot out, do some manual cleaning and then resume.

I think that some output signals are set on the error, but I'm unsure how to make use of those to increment a counter in a num. My guess is that the signals are cleared once the user clicks the resume button.

Any good ideas?

    After the user makes the input to either retry or move away, increment your numeric counter.

    @lemster68 where should I add this code to increment the counter? I guess I need to somehow catch the exception so that I have a place to add the code.

    Since I do not see any of your code it is difficult to say.  You mentioned that there is a dialog for the user to select the course for recovery.  I would add it immediately after the choice is made by the user.
