DosRaiseException

Raises an exception for the current thread.

Syntax

DosRaiseException(pexcept)

Parameters

pexcept (PEXCEPTIONREPORTRECORD) - input

A pointer to an exception report record that contains exception-specific information needed for the exception to be raised.

The pointer to the exception report record, as well as certain handler flags in the structure, are supplied by the system.

Return Code

ulrc (APIRET) - returns

DosRaiseException returns the following value:

• 0 NO_ERROR

Remarks

Note: Do not make Presentation Manager calls from exception handlers.

DosRaiseException enables a thread to raise a synchronous exception that has been deferred from a must-complete section.

DosRaiseException can also be used to simulate an asynchronous or synchronous exception.

Example Code

This example shows how to raise an exception for the current thread.

#define INCL_DOSPROCESS       /* DOS process values (for DosSleep) */
#define INCL_DOSEXCEPTIONS    /* DOS exception values */
#define INCL_ERRORS           /* DOS error values     */

#include <stdio.h>
