Re: How to ignore a statement error in RPGLE?

[Jeff Young <cooljeff913@xxxxxxxxx>]

Use the Monitor op-code before the statement.
You will need an On-Error section for any errors along with an EndMon to close.

/Free
Monitor;
Eval Result = %Dec(Field);
 On-Error;
Eval Result = *Zero;
EndMon;
/EndFree

Subject: How to ignore a statement error in RPGLE?


I am using %DEC within an RPGLE program to convert the character data to
numeric.  Sometimes the data being converted is not valid for numeric.  If
the statement errors, how can I ignore it and continue to the next
statement?  Similar to MONMSG in CL, or the TRY block in java?  Thanks, Tim
