How do I trap an error?


Back to QBasic FAQ Main Page.

Trapping an error is not hard, but what you do can make it that way.

To trap an error, QB has added error trapping commands. Using these, a simple error trapping routine would be like this:

ON ERROR GOSUB TrapIT
' Program goes here...
' Program messes up. (The user never does!)....
' A skip-to place that helps handle the return...
END
TrapIT:
PRINT "A program error occurred!"
PRINT "To continue Press [Enter]"
PRINT "To abort press [Esc]"
PRNIT "To quit now, press "Q"
DO
 A$ = INKEY$
LOOP
SELECT CASE UCASE$(A$)
CASE "Q":END
CASE CHR$(13):RESUME NEXT
CASE CHR$(27):RESUME
END SELECT

The above example is a simple yet easily implemented way of handling program errors.
