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 103 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.Desc

What does it do? vbscript error-handling share|improve this question edited Feb 4 '10 at 20:42 Helen 18.3k44174 asked Feb 4 '10 at 20:18 Omar 3,364114280 4 It is a very powerful, but dangerous bit of syntax. Be very cautious using it. –Nate Feb 4 '10 at 20:22 2 It makes more sense now. After some functions that can end up in error. They have a vbscript error handling function called checkError after them. –Omar Feb 4 '10 at 20:37 add a comment| 6 Answers 6 active oldest votes up vote 56 down vote accepted It basically tells the program when you encounter an error just continue at the next line. share|improve this answer answered Feb 4 '10 at 20:19 David 2,2601523 add a comment| up vote 24 down vote It's worth noting that even when On Error Resume Next is in effect, the Err object is still populated when an error occurs, so you can still do C-style error handling.

Sometimes, the On Error follows the Goto label to alter the flow of execution, something like this in a Sub code block, now you know why and how the usage of GOTO can result in spaghetti code: Sub MySubRoutine() On E

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 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 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 Functi
