Languages Focus: Exception Trapping

A common usage of exception handling is to obtain and use resources in a "try-it" block, deal with any exceptions in an "exceptions" block, and release the resources in some kind of "final" block which executes whether or not any exceptions are trapped.

ObjectPAL Exception Trapping

ObjectPAL has a try...onFail statement but does not have a finally-type component. However, the code afer endTry will execute.

try
onFail
endTry
Syntax Example:
var
i SmallInt
endVar
try
i = 0
i = 1/i
onFail
msgInfo("", "You cannot divide by zero.")
endTry

Here is an example from a pushButton event:

method pushButton(var eventInfo Event)
var
 i SmallInt
endVar
 
errorTrapOnWarnings(True)
 
try
  i = 0
  i = 1/i
  msgInfo("", "This line of code never executes.")
onFail
  msgInfo("", "You cannot divide by zero.")
endTry
 
msgInfo("", "This line always executes.")
endMethod

The following example shows you the last ObjectPAL error:

errorTrapOnWarnings(yes)
try
  ;Your code here
onFail
  msgStop( errorCode(), errorMessage() )
  ;You could also use errorShow()
endTry
