Re: communicating with messages

Hi Scott,
 
Thanks for the link - I can't believe it has been over a year since I read
that article. Where has the time gone?!?! :-)
 
This does 95% of what I was looking for, but I notice it uses the general
purpose CPF9897 message to invoke the on-error code. Do you know if it is
possible to send custom-messages and still trap them using on-error? Or does
the on-error code only look for specific values? I was hoping I could throw
an escape message and catch it using on-error code. Thinking about it
though, I'm starting to doubt whether it would be possible. I suppose I
could always do something like:
 
throw code within procedure doSomething()...
 
throw('CPF9897' :'MSG0001');
 
 
try/catch code wrapping call to procedure doSomething()...
 
monitor;
 
 doSomething(); 
 
on-error;
 messageID = retrieveMessageID();
 select;
 when messageID = 'MSG0001';
   trapError1(); 
 when messageID = 'MSG0002';
   trapError2();
 other;
   trapGeneralError();
 endsl;
endmon;
 
Hmmm...
 
Cheers
