TakeOther, PROTECTED, VIRTUAL, PROC

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
