Detectable Macro Errors

CLI macros detect various errors when a macro is executed. Some of these errors are detected without the use of an onError macro; they include the following:

• Macro file not found
• Macro not found
• Macro compilation error
• Macro does not complete error due to excessive looping or recursion

The following errors are detected only when a CLI macro file contains an onError macro:

• Syntactic error in executed CLI command
• Runtime error in executed CLI command

In addition to these detectable errors, you can use the following environment commands to return textual error information to the macroData log file:

• env.getErrorCommand
• env.getErrorStatus

  Caution: Though you can use the env.getErrorCommand and env.getErrorStatus commands in any macro, the only appropriate place from which to execute these commands is from an onError macro.
