Handling errors in CL Programs

Dcantwell — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 21:10:13 +0000

I’ve been searching all over the internet (and this site) looking for a good way to generically handle errors within a CL program. Everything’s seems very vauge to me.

What I’m looking to do is something like this:

CHGSPLFA   FILE(&SPOOLFILE) SAVE(*NO)  
MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000)  EXEC('SEND EMAIL WITH ERROR MESSAGE DETAILS TO A USER AND EXIT PROGRAM')

I’d like to know the line it failed at, and all of the message details in the email.

I know you can do EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(ERROR)) and use SNDDST to send the email. I’m not really sure how to pull the information our of the exception thrown.

I’m so used to taking care of business with try{} catch(e){} in other languages that I never really learned about proper error handling in CL.

Thanks in advance for the help!

CL for Backup Alerts

Hugheswilliams — Wed, 19 May 2010 04:48:03 +0000

Hi,

I have to set up alert at a specific time on AS400 which will check if the backup job is running.

If the backup is not running at that specific time,it should send an alert’Backup Not Running’ else it should send an alert’Backup is running’/'Backup is in Message Wait’.

Can anyone please suggest me a CL which will check this.I am new to CL and I have been unable to put the above logic.

I have an idea where we need to run WRKJOB and then trap the status of the job ie.whether ACTIVE/MSGW or NOT FOUND .But unfortunately I have been unable to code this logic.

Please can anyone help me with this.

Many Thanks

Would like to auto reply to this message without amending the system reply list entries, rather just from within the Backup CLP itself.
