Syntax

     TRY 
       statements 
     EXCEPT 
       exceptionBlock 
     END

where statements is a sequence of statements (delimited by semicolons) and exceptionBlock is another sequence of statements.

Description

A TRY...EXCEPT statement executes the statements in the initial statements list. If no exceptions are raised, the exception block (exceptionBlock) is ignored and the control passes on to the next part of the IBEBlock.

If an exception is raised during execution of the initial statements list, the control passes to the first statement in the exceptionBlock. Here you can handle any exceptions which may occur using the following functions:

• function ibec_err_Message() - returns an exception message.
• function ibec_err_SQLCode() - returns the SQLCode of an exception if there was an SQL error.
• function ibec_err_Name() - returns an exception name (for exceptions raised with EXCEPTION statement; see below).

You can also re-raise an exception using the RAISE statement.

Example

     execute ibeblock
     as
     begin
       try
         -- Attempt to insert into non-existent table
         insert into missing_table (f1) values (1);
         ibec_ShowMessage('There were no errors...');
       except
         ErrSQLCode = ibec_err_SQLCode();
         if (ErrSQLCode = -204) then
           ibec_ShowMessage(ibec_err_Message());
         else
           raise;
       end
     end
