Error Handling

Did you know that you can handle errors in navision. For all we thought all this while is that once an error occurs navision handles it itself and there is hardly anything a programmer could do about it.

Well handling errors is something which is available to a limited degree but atleast there is an option. The errors could only be handled if they occur in a codeunit. Thus a codeunit is required to encapsulate any such code one needs to handle.

If the If statement is used while executing a codeunit then an errors would not break out of the code instead would allow us handling of the same. There are two commands one need to know for this
GETLASTERRORTEXT
CLEARLASTERROR
these are available in the CAL Symbol menu which is accessed using the F5 key under
SYSTEM -> Error Handling

the properties are self explanatory, all one needs to do is execute the codeunit as shown :-


IF CODEUNIT.RUN(50005) THEN BEGIN
//Code to execute on success
END ELSE BEGIN
//Code to execute on failure
END
