Error Handling

Error Handling

This chapter presents information about handling errors. CA Ideal provides facilities for evaluating and resolving runtime errors. There are two main categories of errors:

• Errors due to code that does not process the data properly
• Errors caused by unpredictable conditions at runtime

Unpredictable errors cause an application to abend. This is somewhat different from logic errors that generally cause unexpected results, although those results can lead to an abend. The following section assumes that logic errors are handled by good design and adequate testing.
