When i was running a job, i got an error. After making chages and running job again for 5 or 6 times, no error found. But the log which showed the error is gone. I would like to look into that error. Can i retrieve the error in any way

By "gone" do you mean automatically purged? In that case, the answer is no - it's gone forever.
You might be able to retrieve the log hashed file from system backups and work your way through that, but it would be a tedious process.

Perhaps 'gone' just means 'outside of the current Filter limits'. Do you have a limit on the number of log records you can display? Does the Director show (Filtered) in the status line?

No i mean log is purged. So if purged i can get the log back only through System Backups. Am i right

Yes, but... Do you have the skills to restore the hashed file to a separate location, create a VOC pointer to it there, and use SQL to inspect it?
Overwriting a hashed file with one of a different structure on backup media is a Bad Idea, and can lead to corruption.
