Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  To find additional discussion and examples for a macro, see the table
  above, using the category specified in the macro description below.
 
  ◄AND_CATCH►             Designates a block of code for catching the
                          second or subsequent exception from the
                          preceding TRY block.
 
                          For additional linformation, see the

  ◄ASSERT►                Prints a message and aborts the application if
