ABC: Overriding error class to log errors to file 1998-12-14 -- Joseph Lucas Newsgroups: topspeed.products.c4
I have a conversion program which reads our clarion 2110 .dat files and
copies them to our SA database. Here's what I do:
1) In Global properties, Classes tab, General button - I changed the
ErrorManager to AppErrors.
2) In Global properties, Embeds, After Global Includes - I added the
following:
AppErrors CLASS(ErrorClass)
WriteError PROCEDURE
END
3) In Global properties, Embeds, Program Procedures - I added the following:
AppErrors.WriteError PROCEDURE
CODE
Global:Error = SELF.SubsString()
SELF.SetID(Msg:AddFailed) ! This Error message contains the
%ErrorText macro.
ASC:Line=CLIP(ASC:Line) &' '& SELF.SubsString() ! This method translates %ErrorText to
the
ADD(AsciiFile) ! pertinent ERRORCODE()&ERROR()
values.
4) In Global properties, Embeds, After File Declarations - I added the
following:
AsciiFile FILE,DRIVER('ASCII'),NAME(LogFileName),PRE(ASC),CREATE
Record RECORD,PRE()
Line STRING(2048)
END
END
5) In my source procedure when I'm ready to write a record to the SA
database I use:
IF Access:Dx.TryInsert()
ASC:Line = '** DX ('&CLIP(DX:DxCode)&' '&DX:DxType&') File Error'
GlobalErrors.WriteError
END
6) In Setup, Application Options, Generation tab - Turn off (uncheck)
"Enable #ASSERT checking".
That should do it, let me know if I forgot anything. HTH,
