ILEMAKER PRO SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 34
Set Error Capture
Purpose
Suppresses or enables normal FileMaker Pro alert messages.
Format
Set Error Capture [<On/Off>]
Options
• On suppresses FileMaker Pro alert messages and some dialog boxes. If the error result is
100 or 803, then certain standard file dialog boxes are suppressed, such as the Open File
dialog box.
• Off re-enables the alert messages.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
Use this script step to suppress normal FileMaker alert messages caused by subsequent script
steps so that your script can handle errors instead. It is important that you anticipate as many
problems as possible and include clear instructions for what to do for an error condition.
By using Get(LastError) function with certain control script steps, you can check whether the
previous script step returned an error and take the appropriate action.
Notes
• Use Get (LastError) immediately after the script step you intend to test; a successful
intervening step may clear the error code you were intending to capture.
• When Set Error Capture is used in a script that contains a sub-script, errors from the sub-
script are captured as well.
• Server-side scripts and scripts performed via Custom Web Publishing always run as if Set
Error Capture were set to On. See About running scripts on FileMaker Server.
