AskLine()

[mueer01]

Hello,

The "Cancel" button from the function AskLine() quits the program.
Is it possible to get a @FALSE, @CANCEL or '' returned, instead?

Regards,
Erhard

You don't need a different function return value, but you do need to place a cancel label in your script. You can learn more about cancel handling by reading the following WIL Help page:

YEPP! That's it. Many thanks.

Or you can use this function, which I wrote years ago and find very useful:


#DefineSubroutine udsTry(expr,errstr,cancelstr)
IntControl(73,1,1,0,0)
Return %expr%
:wberrorhandler
Return errstr
:cancel
Return cancelstr
#EndSubroutine
