#116048 - 2004-03-12 01:35 PM What does EXIT 87 do?
GSUK GSUK Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2004-03-10 Posts: 125	Hi there, I've just imported the ARRAYENUMKEY UDF and I was wondering what EXIT 87 does? (and EXIT 0) Is 87 a specific exit code? Where would I find a list of these codes? I've only been using Kix for about a week so please forgive me if the answer is blatantly obvious! ****CODE**** function arrayenumkey($regsubkey) dim $retcode, $subkeycounter, $currentsubkey, $subkeyarray if not keyexist($regsubkey) exit 87 endif $subkeycounter=0 do $currentsubkey=enumkey($regsubkey,$subkeycounter) if not @ERROR redim preserve $subkeyarray[$subkeycounter] $subkeyarray[$subkeycounter]=$currentsubkey $subkeycounter=$subkeycounter+1 endif until @ERROR $arrayenumkey=$subkeyarray exit 0 endfunction END CODE***** Thanks in advance! Glenn

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	These are error codes. See the @ERROR and @SERROR macros and the erro code seciton of the Kixtart Manual. Win32 error codes are also listed under http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/debug/base/system_error_codes.asp. Error 87 = The parameter is incorrect. ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER Also, how are we supposed to help you debug your code if you don't even post the code but just the UDF itself? See also the FAQ Forum on how to use UDFs.

I haven't got that far yet mate! I was jumt importing the UDF and wondered what EXIT 87 does. If I do have problems debugging I will let you know.

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4402 Loc: New Jersey	Jens: 50 wet-noodle lashes to you for mis-spelling KiXtart! GSUK: The error messages are pretty standard, and you can find lists online - as Jens pointed out. They are not really specific to Kix - most programs return them of some kind. An error of 0 (zero) means Success - no error occurred. This is handy, as you can Code: $Answer = Function() If @ERROR 'Failed!' ? ' Error was - @SERROR' ? EndIf Simple test of @ERROR being true means some kind of error occured - then you can potentially figure out what kind of error and perform an alternate or corrective action. Many people simply return 0 on success and 1 (Incorrect Function) on failure. Jens is returning a more descriptive and appropriate error message - "Incorrect Parameter". If you want an exercise that will show you the error messages and how they are returned & interpreted, try something like this: Code: For $X = 0 to 50 DoTest($X) @SERROR ? Next Function DoTest($EC) Exit $EC EndFunction Armed with an error code list, you can return an appropriate exit code from a UDF you've written.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Glenn: I had my type-ahead optimizer activated. This causes me to sometimes type characters faster than they're supposed to be typed, thus an 'and' might turn into an 'nad'. ;-) GSUK: Just running the UDF code itself should not create any error code at all. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
