Automatic Editing and Error Handling › Error Handling

Error Handling

What is Error-handling?

The error-handling capability can be used to define display characteristics in the event that a map is redisplayed due to input error. Redisplay of a map on input error is controlled by the CA ADS dialog or application program that uses the map at runtime.

Error Handling Functions

Error handling can perform one or more of the following operations when the map is redisplayed:

• Redisplay incorrect input with predefined attributes that attract the operator's attention
• Redisplay correct input with predefined attributes
• Provide messages to the operator
• Sound an alarm

1. Enable automatic editing and error-handling for the map and for each field to be edited
2. Optionally define error-handling criteria for the map
