Other Responses to an Error

After handling an error, you can still output the detail of the error message with the following commands:

$P $!!Error.Text

$P $!!Error.Command

$P $!!Error.Line

do !line VALUES !!Error.Callstack

 $P $!Line

enddo

To abandon the running PML Macro or function, but to re-instate the error so that the calling PML code has a chance to handle it, you can use the command:

return error

You can also re-instate the error but suppress the alert using the command:

return error noalert

To generate a new error (or replace an error with your own error) plus an optional message, use one of the following

return error 1

return error 1 ‘Your error message’

return error 1 NOALERT

To handle such an error there is a special form of the handle command:

handle 1

PML code to handle a user-defined error number

endhandle
