Description
Simulates the occurrence of an error.
Syntax
Error errornumber
The errornumber can be any valid error number.
Remarks
If errornumber is defined, the Error statement simulates the occurrence of that error; that is, it sets the value of Err to errornumber.
To define your own error numbers, use a number greater than any of the standard error numbers. To avoid conflict with existing error numbers, create user-defined errors by defining your first error at 65,535 and work down from there.
If an Error statement is executed when no error-handling routine is enabled, an error message is displayed and execution stops. If the Error statement specifies an error number that is not used, an error message is displayed.
