Redirecting Run-Time Error Messages

Intel_C_Intel — Tue, 19 Jun 2001 01:53:28 GMT

Good afternoon!

I am working on a CVF project porting some legacy VMS code to the Windows platform. I have a need to reroute the run-time error message destination. My application is built as a Windows application (/subsystem=Windows), but I need run-time errors to be either rerouted to the command prompt from which the program is run or to a file.

The on-line Help report that run-time error processing and traceback information for applications built as Windows apps are directed to a message box, but applications built as Console apps report run-time errors to the command prompt.

Is there a way to reroute run-time errors in CVF? Any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks!

I think that defining the environment variable FOR_NOERROR_DIALOGS to "TRUE" may do what you want. You can use SETENVQQ for this.

Steve -- thanks for the tip! FOR_NOERROR_DIALOGS by itself was not quite enough, but combining these three did the trick:

res=setenvqq('FOR_DIAGNOSTIC_LOG_FILE=LOGFILE.TXT')
res=SETENVQQ('FOR_NOERROR_DIALOGS=TRUE')
res=setenvqq('FOR_DISABLE_DIAGNOSTIC_DISPLAY=TRUE')

Again, much appreciated!

I have a similar question. Currently, I uses a c-wrapper for my CVF DLL (similar to the CVF 6.5a example, EXCEPTIONHANDLINGVBVF1) and I would like to re-route/log any runtime error to the caller routine (mainly, VB). Is there any alternative to TRACEBACKQQ so that I can retrieve traceback information silently without showing a dialog?
TIA

I don't quite understand what you want, George. Do you want this to happen if an error occurs? If so, the caller may not regain control. Please outline how you would use such a thing.
