Error Handling

Description

Instruction: Signal error ErrorCode. This triggers error handling just like a real error. The current procedure's error handler is activated, unless it is already active or there isn't one. In that case the calling procedure's error handler is tried. (Use Err.Raise to provide complete error information.)

Function: The Error( ) function returns the error text string.

Parameter	Description
ErrorCode	This is the error number.

Example

Sub Main
On Error GoTo Problem
Err.Raise 1 ' simulate error #1
Exit Sub

Problem: ' error handler
Debug.Print "Error$=";Error$
Resume Next
End Sub
