Handling Custom Errors

You can create a custom set of error codes to handle errors that are specific to your code. For example, you can create your own set of error codes if your Siebel VB code creates rules for file input but the user does not follow these rules. You can configure Siebel VB to create an error and reply appropriately using the same statements and functions that you use for error codes that Siebel VB returns.
