**TakeOther, PROTECTED, VIRTUAL, PROC**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **TakeOther** method is called when an error with an unrecognized severity level is "Thrown" to the ErrorClass (see Throw, ThrowFile, ThrowMessage). By default, an "other" error is treated as a program error.

TakeOther must return a severity level.

**Implementation:**

The base class method (ErrorClass.TakeOther) calls TakeProgram.

**Return Data Type:**     BYTE

**Example:**

**  INCLUDE('ABERROR.INC')            !declare ErrorClass**

**MyErrorClass CLASS(ErrorClass)      !declare derived class**

**TakeOther    FUNCTION,BYTE,VIRTUAL  !prototype corresponding virtual**

**       END**

**GlobalErrors MyErrorClass           !declare GlobalErrors object**

** CODE**

** GlobalErrors.Init                  !GlobalErrors initialization**

** !program code**

** GlobalErrors.Throw(Msg:CreateFailed) !Throw calls SELF.TakeOther to **

**                    !automatically call the derived class method**

**                    !rather than the base class method**

** !program code**

**MyErrorClass.TakeOther FUNCTION !derived class virtual to handle "other" errors**

**  CODE**

** !your custom code here**

** RETURN Level:Program**
