Exception Handling Functions

When writing your data transformation scripts, you can use the following functions to handle error conditions:

• EAIRaiseError
• EAIRaiseErrorCode
• EAIFormatMessage

NOTE:  Before proceeding, read Exception Handling Considerations.

EAIRaiseError() Method

This method raises a fatal error and terminates the script. Table 56 presents the parameters for this method.

Syntax

EAIRaiseError(msg [, formatParameters])

Usage

You can provide format parameters to format the message text. For details, see EAIFormatMessage() Method.

EAIRaiseErrorCode() Method

This method raises a fatal error, terminates the script, and returns an error symbol that it receives from the business service.

Syntax

EAIRaiseErrorCode(errorSymbol, msg)

Usage

You can use this function when you want to pass an error symbol to a workflow as an indication to branch on an exception. If you are not branching on the specific error code in your workflow, use EAIRaiseError instead.

EAIFormatMessage() Method

This method formats strings that have position-independent arguments. Table 57 presents the parameters for this method.

Syntax

EAIFormatMessage(msg [, formatParameters])

Returns

A string of the formatParameters argument values in the positions specified by the positional arguments included in the msg parameter.

Usage

You can use this function to generate messages from strings that are translated and whose positions have changed as a result of the translation.

Example

EAIFormatMessage("Data: '%2', '%3', '%1'", "A", "B", "C")

returns the string:

"Data: 'B', 'C', 'A'"
