on-error-cmd

Hi

as we have on error cmd in a module level, it will be very helpful to have same upon a cmd level (such as in java/c$/python & etc: try/catch)

    Hello Hezi,

    The try/catch command could be used in Natural by writing the code to be analyzed in

    external subroutine.

    Within the external subroutine the "catch" part is on-error.

    See code sample:

    0010 DEFINE DATA LOCAL

    0020 1 #I (I04)

    0030 1 #N (I04)

    0040 1 #LAST_ERROR (I04)

    0050 1 #MSG (A79)

    0060 END-DEFINE

    0070 #N := 1

    0080 #LAST_ERROR := 0

    0090 F1. FOR #I := 1 TO 99

    0100 PERFORM CALCMULT #I #N #LAST_ERROR

    0110 IF #LAST_ERROR = 0

    0120 THEN

    0130 COMPRESS #I "! = " INTO #MSG LEAVING NO SPACE

    0140 COMPRESS #MSG #N INTO #MSG /* LEAVING NO SPACE

    0150 WRITE #MSG

    0160 ELSE

    0170 WRITE "Overflow occurred - processing terminated"

    0180 ESCAPE BOTTOM (F1.)

    0190 END-IF

    0200 END-FOR /* (F1.)

    0210 END

    0010 DEFINE DATA PARAMETER

    0020 1 #P_I (I4)

    0030 1 #P_N (I4)

    0040 1 #P_LAST_ERROR (I4)

    0050 END-DEFINE

    0060 DEFINE SUBROUTINE CALCMULT

    0070 ON ERROR

    0080 #P_LAST_ERROR := *ERROR

    0090 ESCAPE ROUTINE

    0100 END-ERROR

    0110 #P_N := #P_N * #P_I

    0120 END-SUBROUTINE /* (CALCMULT)

    0130 END
