**TryNext, PROC**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **TryNext **method gets the next record in sequence. The TryNext method does not attempt to handle errors that occur while getting the next record.

The Next method provides a slightly different (automatic) alternative for getting records in sequence.

**Implementation:**

TryNext tries to get the next record. If it succeeds, it returns Level:Benign (declared in ABERROR.INC). If it fails, it returns the severity level of the error it encountered while trying to get the record. See //Error Class// for more information on severity levels.

**Return Data Type:**     BYTE

**Example:**

**PROGRAM  BatchReport               !batch process--don't display errors**

** INCLUDE('ABFILE.INC')             !declare FileManager class**

** MAP                               !program map**

** END**

**GlobalErrors ErrorClass            !declare GlobalErrors object**

**Access:Client CLASS(FileManager)   !derive Access:Client object**

**       END**

** CODE**

** !program code**

** LOOP                              !loop through client file**

**  CASE Access:Cliet.TryNext()      !get next record in sequence**

**  OF Level:Notify OROF Level:Fatal !if error occurred**

**   POST(Event:CloseWindow)         !shut down**

**   BREAK**

**  ELSE                             !otherwise**

**   PRINT(Rpt:Detail)               !print the record**

**  END**

** END**
