I am looking for code that detect an error and it's position (or an aproximation of it), this is more than an error detector code but a little less than a correcting code.
Do you know something like this or some literature that I can check?

$\begingroup$ If you can correct an error, then by comparing the received codeword to the corrected one, you can identify the position of the error. $\endgroup$– Yuval FilmusNov 2, 2018 at 16:05

$\begingroup$ @YuvalFilmus Thanks for your comment, yes what you said is true but that won't be near to optimal because I need just the location of the error and not the correction itself. $\endgroup$– Luis GCNov 4, 2018 at 21:11
