InvalidBitNumber class
The InvalidBitNumber exception class indicates that a bit number request by a bit manipulation function was incorrect, either negative, greater than the number of bits in the string, or non-integral.
To produce a InvalidBitNumber exception for yourself, you typically use a User Language Throw statement with an InvalidBitNumber New constructor. For example, the following statement throws an InvalidBitNumber exception:
throw %(invalidBitNumber):new
The InvalidBitNumber methods
The following are the available InvalidBitNumber class methods.
The methods in the class are described in the subsections that follow. In addition:
- "Notation conventions for methods" has information about the conventions followed.
- "InvalidBitNumber methods syntax" is a single page that contains the syntax diagrams of all the methods in the class.
New constructor
Create a new InvalidBitNumber object (InvalidBitNumber class)
[Introduced in Model 204 7.5]
This Constructor generates an instance of an InvalidBitNumber exception. The New method format is as follows:
Syntax
%invalidBitNumber = [%(InvalidBitNumber):]New( bitNumber= number)
Syntax terms
| %invalidBitNumber | A reference to an instance of a InvalidBitNumber object. |
|---|---|
| [%(InvalidBitNumber):] | The class name in parentheses denotes a Constructor. See "Usage notes", below, for more information about invoking a InvalidBitNumber Constructor. |
| number | The bit number that will be returned by the BitNumber property. |
Usage notes
- As described in "Using New or other Constructors", New can be invoked with no object, with an explicit class name, or with an object variable in the class, even if that object is Null:
%invalidBitNumber = new %invalidBitNumber = %(InvalidBitNumber):new %invalidBitNumber = %invalidBitNumber:new
