Resume Next
Error handling statement to resume execution after a jump to an error handler
Syntax
`
Resume Next
`
Description
`Resume Next` is used in the traditional QB error handling mechanism within an error handler (called by `On Error`) to return execution to the line after the one that caused the error. Usually this is used to avoid executing the same line and causing the error again.
`Resume Next` resets the `Err` value to 0
Example
`
'' Compile with -lang fblite or qb
#lang "fblite"
Dim As Single i, j
On Error Goto ErrHandler
i = 0
j = 5
j = 1 / i ' this line causes a divide-by-zero error; execution jumps to ErrHandler label
Print "ending..."
End ' end the program so that execution does not fall through to the error handler again
ErrHandler:
Resume Next ' execution jumps to 'Print "ending..."' line, but j is now in an undefined state
`
Dialect Differences

- ON ERROR is not supported in the -lang fb dialect. Statements can be used in its function form to return an error code

`
If Open( "text" For Input As #1 ) <> 0 Then
Print "Unable to open file"
End If
`
Differences from QB

- Must compile with -ex option
