Sometime when i try to open a file with FileOpen and i got this message : "An error occured while executing script:Line 106:Error opening file."

106 FileOpen (file_ord,"StreamMode","Read",True,file_handle_ord)
107 IfThen( file_handle_ord, CHECK_TARGET_EXIST)
108 FileClose file_handle_ord
109 goto NO_PROCESS_END

Can i trap this error so the program will not end adnormaly.

Please help.

Thanks.

Why don't use the FileExists statement instead?

By the way, a workaround for reading openeed/locked files is to use the DOS TYPE command

Run("cmd /b type somefile.here filecopy.here")
FileReadAll("filecopy.here", variable)
FileDelete("filecopy.here")

I'm already using FileExists before opening the file (see below).

CHECK_ORD:
FileExists(file_ord,file_found)
IfThen( file_found, CHECK_CUS_READY)
goto NO_PROCESS_END

CHECK_CUS_READY:
FileOpen (file_cus,"StreamMode","Read",True,file_handle_cus)
IfThen( file_handle_cus, CHECK_ORD_READY)
FileClose file_handle_cus
goto NO_PROCESS_END

CHECK_ORD_READY:
FileOpen (file_ord,"StreamMode","Read",True,file_handle_ord)
IfThen( file_handle_ord, CHECK_TARGET_EXIST)
FileClose file_handle_ord
goto NO_PROCESS_END

There is no anyway to trap this error instead of using DOS type?
Why "file_handle_cus" or FileOpen does not return a error instead of stopping the program?

Thanks.

You can turn on "ignore errors" job property so the script will continue running even if the file cannot be opened. if FileOpen fails, file_handle_cus will not be changed and will stay 0, and so the script will proceed to NO_PROCESS_END.

: FileClose file_handle_cus
: goto NO_PROCESS_END
