Triggers an exception handler in the absence of an exception condition.
Syntax
SET EXCEPTION condition
Parameters
condition | Can be BREAK Mimics a terminal or process “break” condition (i.e., the user pressing the “break” key). DEADLOCK Mimics a deadlock in a multi-user system. Does not abort the current transaction. ERROR Mimics an error condition. WARNING Mimics a warning condition. |
Comments
A SET EXCEPTION command mimics the specified condition, triggering the associated exception handler, if such a handler has been declared (by the ON command). The SET EXCEPTION command cannot be used in the body of an exception handler. The SET EXCEPTION command has no effect on system variables such as $InTransaction, $ErrCode, or $ErrLevel. The SET EXCEPTION command is not affected by the SET RESET and SET RESTORE commands.
Example
localprocedure LocProc (inout $Deadlock) on deadlock let $Deadlock = $true return endon ... other commands ... endprocedure procedure MainProc () on deadlock goto RetryTransaction endon ... other commands ... RetryTransaction: transaction ... other commands ... LocProc ($Deadlock) if $Deadlock = $true set exception deadlock endif ... other commands ... endtransaction endprocedure
In the preceding example, SET EXCEPTION mimics a DEADLOCK condition, triggering the declared deadlock exception handler in one procedure when the deadlock has actually occurred in another procedure.
