Trap errors - 2nd post

[Eitan]

Hello,
I want to emphasize a point for my prior posts :

How can I trap a message in ASP (not dotnet), to a specific label.

(I know : on error goto my_label ...
but this does not work in ASP pages)

Thanks :)

[Steven Burn]

Whats wrong with Bob's answer to your other post concerning this?

One of the links that was provided showed an example, but here's a generic
example:

on error resume next
'bunch of statements
'statement that may generate an error
if err <> 0 then
'handle the error
response.write err.number & ": " & err.description
'use Select Case to tailor your action to specific error numbers
end if
'turn off error handling if appropriate (this is optional*):
on error goto 0
In addition, with ADO, you also can ustilize the connection object's Errors
collection (you still have to us on error resume next)

on error resume next
conn.execute querythatmaypro duceerror
if conn.Errors.cou nt > 0 then
for each adoerr in conn.errors
response.write "<BR>ADO Error #" & adoerr.number & "<BR>" & _
"DB Error #: & ": " & adoerr.nativeEr ror & "<BR>" & _
"Descriptio n: " ": " & adoerr.descript ion
'use Select Case to tailor your action to specific error numbers
next
end if

This would be better written like this:

on error resume next
'bunch of statements whose errors you wish to ignore
....
....
....
'statement that may generate an error you wish to handle
err.clear
....
if err <> 0 then
'handle the error
response.write err.number & ": " & err.description
'use Select Case to tailor your action to specific error numbers
end if
'turn off error handling if appropriate (this is optional*):
on error goto 0
