Purpose |
Cause a run-time error to be generated and sets ERR to the specified error number. |
|
Syntax |
ERROR ErrNum |
|
Remarks |
ERROR ErrNum causes a run-time error to be generated and sets ERR to ErrNum. Run-time errors are only caught if you have an active ON ERROR GOTO in your code. ERROR is useful to explicitly raise an exception in a TRY/END TRY block. Valid errors are in the range 1 through 255. Attempting to set an error value outside of that range will convert the value to a run-time Error 5 ("Illegal function call"). The compiler reserves codes 0 through 150, and 241 through 255 for run-time errors. You may freely use error codes 151 through 240 for your own purposes. |
