Good day everyone,

I'm trying to incorporate some On Error Functionality for my scripts, but it doesn't seem to be doing what I want.

 

The most common issue I see is if the script misses a key stroke, so that it won't go to the right menu, or the cursor is in the wrong place and it gives an error pop up but the script keeps running.

This as I'm sure you know, causes dozens of windows to pop up saying one thing or another.

I just want the error handling to exit the script should any error happen. 

 

It seems the error handling just prompts for what I want it to, but won't end the script itself.

Maybe i'm using the wrong kind of syntax?

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
Some of the Emulation commands sets the global variable NM_ResultCode with return codes:
With this you can check if the command has been executed correctly.
If not jump to the Error handler as an example

eg.
EMReadScreen

VS_SUCCESS (0) Successfully read characters from the screen.
VS_ERR_READ_PS (17) Function failed to read characters.

or

EMSendKey
VS_SUCCESS (0) No errors
VS_ERR_SENDKEY (15) Error sending key sequence to host.


check the script Assist for more information.

Sample snippet

EMSendKey "<BackTab>"
EMSendKey "001"
EMSendKey "<Enter>"
EMWaitCursor TimeOut ,18,45
If NM_ResultCode = 2 Then            'Check if Cursor is on right position
Goto HandleError

End If

...

HandleError:
Print "Error: Wrong text or cursor position. Script finished."
Exit
