Basic Try/Catch ?

[bigGuitar]

The documentation states that you can use try/catch with Basic scripts, however, Catch seems to be an unrecognized keyword, although Try is recognized.

Had anyone else attempted this?

So as far as I can tell, you CANNOT use Try/Catch/Try End within 'Basic' v10 for Syncback, it simply does not support it despite what is defined in the documentation. You cannot use any flavor of 'On Error' either for error handling under the latest Syncback Basic.

With Pascal under Syncback, I found that you can perform a Try/Except/end, however, it seems that you cannot actually capture any Exception messages or other exception details within the Try statements, such as with "On E:", so everything's scaled back as far as the scripting capabilities go. The lack of proper error handling is certainly a concern. It seems it would be best to define my own Programs 'Before and After' (likely with powershell), to try to handle issues for which the Syncback script would be too weak. Alternatively, perhaps importing some DLL files would provide the functionality to perform what is desired.

Ηι,

Maybe these topics in the script engine's developer Support Center can illustrate and clarify how to do it:

Thank you, however, "On E:" is not handled properly or recognized properly by the Syncback implementation of Pascal, which is my point that these are 'scaled back' versions of the scripting languages that can only handle so many commands.

Ok sorry, I see those links were their 'workarounds' for the "on e:" limitations... thank you.
