Onerrgo

Use Onerrgo to set up a branch label used if an error is thrown.

Syntax

 OnerrgoOnerrgo LABELOnerggo LABEL From SCRIPT

• LABEL is a label defined in the current script by default.
• SCRIPT is the name of a script in which the label is defined. It can also be given with the syntax = EXPR.
• EXPR is a string expression that returns the name of the script in which the label is defined.

Examples

 # Open a file, and handle the errorERROR_FLAG=0# OPEN_ERROR is the label used if the file cannot be opened (in a dedicated script ERRMGT)Onerrgo OPEN_ERR From ERRMGT# Let's open the fileOpeni filpath("TXT","TEST","txt")If ERROR_FLAGEndEndif# No more error management hereOnerrgo...End# Extract of the ERRMGT script$OPEN_ERRORERROR_FLAG=errnERROR_MSG=errmes$(errn)Resume

Description

Onerrgo allows you to define a label where a branch is done when an error is thrown by the engine. When an error happens, the script lines following the label are executed. In this script:

• The errn function returns an error number, defined in the Error section of the documentation.
• The errp function returns the name of the script where the error was triggered.
• The errl function returns the line number in the script where the error was triggered.
• The errmes$(N) function returns the message associated with the error number N.

If a new error is thrown in the error handling script, no error rerouting is executed again to avoid infinite loops.

The error routine can terminate by using one of the following statements:

• Resume will resume the execution in the calling script on the line that follows the line where the error was thrown.
• End will end the execution of the script.

Onerrgo, without label, disables the routing on error. After this instruction, an error interrupts the script and displays the error.

Comment

When a transaction started by Trbegin provokes an error while in progress, the error handling script cannot Commit or Rollback the transaction. This must be done in the original program. However, if the error handling script reaches an End statement, an automatic Rollback of the transaction is performed.

An Onerrgo declaration in a script remains valid until the script ends or another Onerrgo statement is encountered. The execution of the error routing causes the suspension of an Onerrgo effect until the Resume instruction is encountered.

When a script invokes a routine by Call where no Onerrgo instruction is required, an error encountered during the call stops the script execution while the error script takes over as if the error was encountered on the Call line. If the errors have to be handled in the nested call, it is important to use Onerrgo in the called script.
