BadJournal class
The BadJournal exception class reports errors in CCAJRNL or CCAJLOG datasets or streams, including naming errors, that are encountered by the Journal class constructor.
An instance of the BadJournal exception class may be automatically thrown by the New constructor of the Journal class|Journal class, or explicitly created with the "BadJournal Class New Constructor".
The following example shows a "Try and Catch" of a Journal class, New method, exception. An invalid journal name is specified to generate the BadJournal exception. For more information about catching thrown exceptions, see "Try and Catch".
begin %sl is object stringlist %rc is float %journal is object journal %bdjrnl is object badJournal try printText {~} is: {%journal = new('OLD~RNL')} catch badJournal to %bdjrnl print 'Failure!!! Reason code is: ' %bdjrnl:reasonCode end try %rc = %sl:appendJournalData( - Options='MAXIO=1000 WIDTH=138 ST AA USER', - Threads='*', Journal=%journal) print %rc print %sl:count %sl:print end
AppendJournalData does not cancel if its Journal parameter is null. The request result shows the reason code stored in the exception object:
%journal = new('OLD~RNL') is: Failure!!! Reason code is: 1 0 0
Note: In order to display the reason code associated with the request, the exception is caught to a BadJournal object variable, against which the ReasonCode method runs.
The BadJournal class is available as of "Sirius Mods" Version 7.8.
