Can I catch any information while "Create Netlist" fail with tcl?

Gelzone

I have used user-action tcl code (Menu "Tools::Create Netlist") to create netlist from DSN file in OrCAD.
Sometimes the process will fail due to the DSN content or config setting, and there will be a error message pop up and lock the procedure.

I wonder if there is any way to catch the error/exception while creating netlist and that can make me handle it well.

    Try to put your command inside "catch" command.

    like below:

    catch {Menu "Tools::Create Netlist} err

    puts $err

    Try and let me know your feedback.

    It doesn't catch any message.
    The error message box still pop up and lock the procedure until I press "OK".

    The snippets:
    if {[catch {Menu "Tools::Create Netlist" | DialogBox "OK" "//Setup_cfg.xml" | DialogBox "OK" "//PCB_netlist.xml"} err] } {
    puts "Netlist fail: $err"
    after 5000
    exit 1
    }
