RE: Displaying Error Messages **SOLVED**

Hi Booth,

I ended up moving the checks to their own subroutine, and I did this in
the FindPQ:

        BegSR FindPQ;
          ExSR ErrorChecks;
          // If everything is ok, go see if there are records that
match.
          If EError = *OFF;
            ExSR SFLClear;
            PressPrev = *ON;
            ExSR FillSub;
            ExSR PromptSch;
          else;
            write msg;
            EError = *OFF;
            NoRecs = *OFF;
            MissingCat = *OFF;
            MissingIn  = *OFF;
            MissingOut = *OFF;
            exfmt prompt_fmt;
          Endif;
        EndSR;

Thanks!

Brian.

What would happen if, on the next line after the write, you did a
LEAVESR ?

Hi All,

 

 

 

Earlier I asked about displaying error messages when a user enters

invalid data.  Thanks to everyone who responded.

 

 

 

I'm having a further issue now in that when the program issues the error

message, it waits for a prompt from the user before continuing on with

the code.   Is there a way I can display the error message and exit out

of the subroutine instead of doing an exfmt within the sub and having it

continue on from where the exfmt is located?

 

 

 

For example, I have this in my mainline code:

 

 

 

        ExFmt prompt_fmt;

 

 

 

        DoW not Exit;

 

          If PrevScreen;

 

            ExFMT PROMPT_FMT;

 

            PressPrev = *OFF;

 

          Endif;

 

          If EError = *OFF;

 

            ExSR FindPQ;

 

          Else;

 

            ExFMT PROMPT_FMT;

 

            EError = *OFF;

 

          Endif;

 

          If PrintRpt = *ON;

 

            ExSR PrintReport;

 

          Endif;

 

        EndDo;

 

 

 

        *InLR = *on;

 

 

 

In a subroutine (Named FindPQ) I have this as a section of the code:

 

 

 

        BegSR FindPQ;

 

          EError = *OFF;

 

          NoRecs = *OFF;

 

          MissingCat = *OFF;

 

          MissingIn  = *OFF;

 

          MissingOut = *OFF;

 

          DateFillI = '';

 

          DateFillO = '';

 

 

 

              If %trim(pqcat) ='';

 

                MissingCat = *ON;

 

                Message = '        Please enter a category';

 

                write Msg;

 

                MissingCat = *OFF;

 

                Eerror = *ON;

 

                Exfmt prompt_fmt;

 

              endif;

 

 

 

            .... More checks - if there are no errors, run the fillsub

routine ...

 

          EndSR;

 

 

 

So, here's the logic of my program:

 

1) Execute the prompt_fmt and wait for some user input (in the mainline

code).

 

2) Check the user input (done when it goes through the DoW loop) using

the FindPQ logic.

 

3) If there is an error, display it to the user.

 

 

 

Step 4) is where I am having trouble.  I would like to display the error

message to the user and go back to the prompt_fmt awaiting changes.

However, when the program hits the EXFMT prompt_fmt in the FindPQ

subroutine, it will wait here until the user enters something.  Then it

will continue on within the FindPQ subroutine on the next line following

the Exfmt prompt_fmt.

 

 

 

Can someone tell me how I can make it drop out of the routine without

continuing?  Should I move the error checks to their own subroutine, or

do something else other than EXFMT?

 

 

 

Thanks again!

 

 

 

Brian.
