In the tool pane, there is a optional tab for a procedure browser and a variable viewer, as well as a few other tools. Is there any possibility of getting a 'Constant Viewer' tab which lists available constants, a similar manner in which the variable viewer displays variables? This feature would be ...

How do we delete our PB forum account?

I don't believe PB will meet my needs.

Yeah... I don't care if it fails on Threadsafe. I don't care if it fails when dividing by zero. I don't care if it fails when unicorns duck behind a tree to take a poop. I need it for what I do . The fact you can't comprehend that after all my posts saying so, and after all this time, well... that k...

"Let me know when this app reports back." I'm not sure what your issue is. The function returns the value (404) to the calling procedure while allowing me to acquire the error number via ErrorCode() and the error message via ErrorMessage(). Exactly what I wanted it to do. Some people just ...

@Mijikai And BOOM! Mijikai drops the mic and struts off the stage. Thank you, Brother!.!.! This is exactly what I needed the whole time and error handling works as I need it. You have won the internet today. You made it so simple, and without snide remarks. Others might come out of their mother's ba...

@skywalk That's the point... I DO NOT rely on the compiler to catch errors for me. Why? a. Compilers are created by humans and therefore, prone to errors. So, hoping a compiler or debugger will catch all run-time errors caused by a programmer's logic (or lack of it) is a dangerous idea. I don't want...

@collectordave Try as I might I cannot get the difference between Try Catch and OnErrorgoto Catch: When a FATAL error occurred it was just that FATAL. To me it meant I could not trust that any return would go back to the calling procedure even if possible. Can someone explain the difference? CD Well...

@Danilo

How do we acquire the error number and error message when using your Try/Catch error handling?
Sample code?

Here is the exact code I was using to test (along with Danilo's "Try/Catch" macros). It's sloppy, but quick and dirty for testing... Make sure to comment out either the call to the RunTry() procedure, or the call to the RunOnErr() procedure when testing. Do not run both procedures at the s...

Okee dokee... After several more hours of testing the error handling capabilities, I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that PB just can't meet my needs. So, I've decided to discard it in favor of moving forward with another language/system that I've been testing simultaneously. So, the moderator...

@ Little John

I deeply apologize. That last part was meant for someone else and I have corrected that post.

@ Little John In the beginning of this thread, it looked as if you wanted to start a serious discussion ... It is a serious discussion. It's just that as is often the case in programming forums, other programmers were more interested in flexing their fragile egos by telling me what they thought was ...

@Marc56us "The "On Error" lib and the IsXXX(1) functions are sufficient to make stable programs. All native PB functions return a value." Using all the example I could find using PB's 'OnErr' library, I could not get my functions to return a value after an error was raised withou...

@skywalk I am surprised you did not search "TRY Catch" many people suggested :?: I have attempted to use many Try/Catch macro samples from the forum, but none have worked so far because they still did not allow the function to return a value if an error occurred. This is my first time seei...

Foot Doctor: "You brain surgeons don't really need such and such tool to perform your surgery." Brain Surgeon: "How do you know we don't need such and such tool to perform our work. Do you perform surgery? And do you perform the same type of surgery we do?" Foot Doctor: "No,...
