PRB: C2060 or C1004 Error Occurs Using TRY/CATCH Macros

• The Microsoft C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE) included with: - Microsoft C/C++ for MS-DOS, version 7.0 - Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.5, 1.51 - Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition, versions 1.0, 2.0, 2.1, 4.0, 4.1,

       4.2, 5.0
  

SYMPTOMS

When compiling a C++ program that uses the TRY and CATCH macros to implement exception handling, the compilation fails with the following error message:

   error C2060: syntax error : end-of-file found

   fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found

CAUSE

A CATCH (or AND_CATCH) block is not closed with the END_CATCH macro. The CATCH macro creates a code block that is to be terminated by the END_CATCH macro.

RESOLUTION

Modify the program code to add the END_CATCH macro to the exception handling code.
