InvalidValue class

The InvalidValue exception class describes an exception associated with finding non-hexadecimal data where hexadecimal data was expected, usually when translating the hexadecimal data to something else.

To produce an InvalidValue exception yourself, you typically use a User Language Throw statement with an InvalidValue New constructor. This statement must be issued from within a method, and it can only be caught by the code that calls the method. For example, the following statement throws an InvalidValue exception with the position set to 1:

throw %(invalidValue):new(position=1)

The InvalidValue methods

The following are the available InvalidValue class methods.

Method	Description
New	Create a new InvalidValue object

The methods in the class are described in the subsections that follow. In addition:

• "Notation conventions for methods" has information about the conventions followed.
• "InvalidValue methods syntax" is a single page that contains the syntax diagrams of all the methods in the class.

New constructor

Create a new InvalidHexData object (InvalidHexData class)

This Constructor generates an instance of an InvalidHexData exception. As shown below, the required argument of the New method is a setting of the Position property.

Syntax

%invalidValue = [%(InvalidValue):]New

Syntax terms

%invalidValue	A reference to an instance of an InvalidValue object.
%(InvalidValue)	The class name in parentheses denotes a Constructor.

Example

The following statements catch an InvalidValue exception and print its position:

%target is object InvalidValue try %myobject:mymethod catch InvalidValue to %target print '%target is ' %target:Position end try
