Exception can be logged in a file when using the STARTLOG()
function.
Exceptions will be automatically logged in a file, if all the following conditions are true:
- The STARTLOG function
has been previously called to specify the name of the exception logging
file.
- The exception action is set to
CALL, GOTO or STOP. Exceptions are
not logged when the action is CONTINUE or RAISE.
- The exception class is an
ERROR, ANY ERROR or WARNING.
NOT FOUND exceptions cannot be logged.
In other words, errors will not be logged in the case of WHENEVER {
[ANY] ERROR | WARNING } CONTINUE, or when controlled by a
TRY/CATCH block.
Each log entry contains:
- The system-time
- The location of the related instruction (source-file, line)
- The error-number
- The text of the error message, giving human-readable details for the exception
