Intercepting "*Error* hiCloseWindow: Invalid window"

Aldo2

Hello,

I would like to know how to intercept the following error without using errset:

*Error* hiCloseWindow: Invalid window - window(invalid):...

My code is:

if(boundp('viewFile) hiCloseWindow(viewFile))

viewFile=view(hiGetCurrentForm()~>strFile~>value)

Using errset:

errset(hiCloseWindow(viewFile))

viewFile=view(hiGetCurrentForm()~>strFile~>value)

Thank you

Aldo

    Aldo,

    You could do:

    when(boundp('viewFIle) && windowp(viewFIle)
      hiCloseWindow(viewFIle)
    )
