Routine in sequence giving "Unhandled failure"

ldesilvio · Post by **ldesilvio** » Wed May 14, 2008 7:25 am

Ok, brain-lock alert! We upgraded from 6.0 to 7.5.2 on Windows. There are routines in sequence that are not working after the upgrade. For example, I have a routine that reads a parameter from a text file, in this case, an email address.

Here is the log message it produces:

-----------------------------------------------------
TstSeq.JobControl(@GetDatedParameter_TOADDR): Routine DSU.GetDatedParameter did not finish OK, return code = 'desilvio@eticomm.net'
-----------------------------------------------------

The routine is returning 'desilvio@eticomm.net', which DS apparently is taking as a non-zero value, meaning it's failing. I'm sure this is something simple but I cant figure it. Any hlep is appreciated

When a routine returns a 'non-zero' value and you have the 'automatically handle activities that fail' option enabled, they are considered to have failed. It considers it 'unhandled' because you haven't provided trigger conditions to handle the 'failure' so it handles it for you.

We've discussed this many (many) times, a search for "did not finish OK" should turn them up.

Thanks Craig. (That's why I added a "brain-lock" disclaimer).

Perhaps you could remember to mark the thread as Resolved?
