MSIR.0975
MSIR.0975 CATCH invalid -- token
A Catch statement or block was coded in an invalid context. The following examples are among the texts that might be displayed with this message:
- The Catch statement or block is not located within a valid Try block, as it must be, in which case the following message is produced:
MSIR.0975: CATCH invalid -- not inside a Try block
- A Catch statement specifies a base class followed by its extension class, which is not allowed. The Catch statement can specify a base class, an extension class, or an extension followed by the base class being extended, but it must not specify a base followed by an extension. In this latter case, the following message is produced:
MSIR.0975: CATCH invalid -- extension class after base class
- The only valid syntactical words that can follow an exception class name on a Catch statement are To (to specify the object to which a caught exception is being saved) and And (to introduce an additional exception class to catch). Any other words are rejected with the following message:
MSIR.0975: CATCH invalid -- invalid word after class name
- The Catch statement specifies a To clause to save the exception to an object, but the object variable name is missing. In this case the following message is produced:
MSIR.0975: CATCH invalid -- target object variable missing
