MSIR.0973  THROWS invalid -- token

A Throws clause has been coded in an invalid context. There are a few scenarios where this message might be produced..

• A method with the special name of either OnThrow or OnUncaught has been coded with the Throws clause, which is not allowed as it would cause a loop in exception handling. This would produce the message

  MSIR.0973: THROWS invalid -- OnThrow/OnUncaught don't allow THROWS

• a Throws clause has been coded specifying duplicate exceptions classes. This condition produces the message

  MSIR.0973: THROWS invalid -- duplicate thrown class

• A Throws clause specifies a class name for a non-exception class. This produces the message

  MSIR.0973: THROWS invalid -- class classname not an exception class

• A Throws clause specifies a base exception class, followed by its extension class name. In this case, either the base class can be specified, or the extension, or the extension followed by the base class, but not base followed by extension. Here the following message is produced

  MSIR.0973: THROWS invalid -- base class listed before extension
