Vbscript Error Handling
VBScript to catch errors and log them (ie on error "log something") then resume the next line of the script. For example, On Error Resume Next 'Do Step 1 'Do Step 2 'Do Step 3 When an error occurs on step 1, I want it to log that error (or perform other custom functions with it) then resume at step 2. Is this possible? and how can I implement it? EDIT: Can vbscript error codes I do something like this? On Error Resume myErrCatch 'Do step 1 'Do step 2 'Do step 3 myErrCatch: 'log error Resume Next vbscript error-handling share|improve this question edited Oct 1 '08 at 14:13 asked Oct 1 '08 at 14:04 apandit 2,50111831 1 Dylan's response is about as good as VB gets in the Error handling department. This is why I always used Javascript when I could get away with it. –wcm Oct 1 '08 at 14:23 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 102 down vote accepted VBScript has no notion of throwing or catching exceptions, but the runtime provides a global Err object that contains the reuslts of the last operation performed. You have to explicitly check whether the Err.Number property is non-zero after each operation. On Error Resume Next DoStep1 If Err.Number <> 0 Then WScript.Echo "Error in DoStep1: " & Err.Description Err.Clear End If DoStep2 If Err.Number <> 0 Then WScript.Echo "Error in DoStop2:" & Err.Description Err.Clear End If 'If you no longer want to continue following an error after that block's completed, 'call this. On Error Goto 0 The "On Error Goto [label]" syntax is supported by Visual Basic and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), but VBScript doesn't support this language

Vbscript Error Handling Best Practices
The Language Reference III. Appendixes A. Language Elements by Category B. VBScript Constants C. Operators Index Colophon Error Handling Error handling does not involve finding errors in your scripts. Instead, use error handling techniques to allow your program to continue executing http://stackoverflow.com/questions/157747/vbscript-using-error-handling even though a potentially fatal error has occurred. Ordinarily, all runtime errors that are generated by the VBScript engine are fatal, since execution of the current script is halted when the error occurs. Error handling allows you to inform the user of the problem and either halt execution of the program or, if it is prudent, continue executing the program.The On Error Resume Next StatementThere are two main elements to error handling in VBScript. The first is the On Error statement, which informs https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/vbscript-in-a/1565927206/ch04s02.html the VBScript engine of your intention to handle errors yourself, rather than to allow the VBScript engine to display a typically uninformative error message and halt the program. This is done by inserting a statement like the following at the start of a procedure:On Error Resume NextThis tells the VBScript engine that, should an error occur, you want it to continue executing the program starting with the line of code which directly follows the line in which the error occurred. For example, in the simple WSH script:On Error Resume Next x = 10 y = 0 z = x / y Alert za “Cannot divide by Zero” error is generated on the fourth line of code because the value of y is 0. But because you’ve placed the On Error statement in line 1, program execution continues with line 5. The problem with this is that when an error is generated, the user is unaware of it; the only indication that an error has occurred is the blank Alert box (from line 5) that’s displayed for the user.TipA particular On Error statement is valid until another On Error statement in the line of execution is encountered. This means that if Function A contains an On Error statement, and Function A calls Function B, but Function B does not contain an On Error statement, the error handling from Function A is still valid. Therefore, if an error occurs in Function B, it is the On Error

Syntax errors Syntax errors, also called parsing errors, occur at interpretation time for VBScript. For example, the following line causes a syntax error because it is missing a closing parenthesis: Runtime errors Runtime errors, also called exceptions, occur during execution, after interpretation. For example, the following line causes a runtime error because here syntax is correct but at runtime it is trying to call fnmultiply, which is a non-existing function: Logical errors Logic errors can be the most difficult type of errors to track down. These errors are not the result of a syntax or runtime error. Instead, they occur when you make a mistake in the logic that drives your script and you do not get the result you expected. You can not catch those errors, because it depends on your business requirement what type of logic you want to put in your program. For example, dividing a number by zero or a script that is written which enters into infinite loop. Err Object Assume if we have a runtime error, then the execution stops by displaying the error message. As a developer, if we want to capture the error, then Error Object is used. Example In the below example, Err.Number gives the error number and Err.Description gives error description. Previous Page Print
