Every run-time error number that has a message of its own, with that message, and the reference pages that list each number among the errors their procedure raises.
A run-time error can be trapped: On Error sends it to a handler, which reads its number from Err.Number and its message from Err.Description. A reference page that documents a procedure, a statement or an operator has a Common Errors section when it raises errors of its own: a table of each number it raises, and when. Each number there links to its row below.
A section lists the errors that a procedure raises from its own arguments and its own state, as twinBASIC raises them. Where VB6 raises another error, or none, a note under the table says so. Every row is measured in twinBASIC and in VB6, and not copied from another reference.
A section does not list:
- errors that any code can raise: 7, Out of memory, and 28, Out of stack space;
- errors in converting an argument to the type its page gives for the parameter: 13, Type mismatch, for an argument of the wrong kind, such as
Mid("abc", "x"), and 6, Overflow, for a number outside the range of that type, such as a start of 2147483648 for Mid, whose start is a Long. A Null argument is listed, whether the procedure raises the error itself or in converting the argument:Mid("abc", Null)raises 94, Invalid use of Null; - compile-time errors: the twinBASIC compiler reports these with diagnostic codes such as
TB5001, before the program runs, and On Error cannot trap them.
A procedure that raises no error of its own has no Common Errors section.
Each number is given in decimal and in hexadecimal, as a 32-bit Long: 5 (&H5), -2147467259 (&H80004005). Numbers from 1 to 65535 are VB's own. A negative number is an HRESULT, a COM error code. Errors that a program raises for itself with Err.Raise usually add their own code to vbObjectError, -2147221504 (&H80040000).
The message is the one that Err.Description gives for the error once it is raised. For the numbers from 1 to 65535, Error(number) gives the same text. For an HRESULT, Error gives Application-defined or object-defined error, as it does for any number without a message of its own, and the table shows both.
[!NOTE] BETA 1010 For a number from 1 to 65535 that has no message of its own, Error gives Application-defined or object-defined error in twinBASIC and VB6. After
Err.Raiseof such a number, Err.Description in VB6 is that same text; in twinBASIC it is empty for a number below 747, and for 747 and above it is the Windows system message of that number, such as Page fault was a transition fault. for 747.
[!NOTE] BETA 1010
Err.Raiseof an HRESULT that has a VB error of the same meaning, such as&H80070057(E_INVALIDARG), raises the HRESULT in twinBASIC. VB6 and 64-bit VBA raise the VB error instead, 5 for that one. Raise lists them.
The messages are those of twinBASIC 32-bit and VB6, which agree for every number from 1 to 65535. Listed by links to the number's line under Pages that list each error, which names the pages whose Common Errors section lists it, in alphabetical order.
