DosUnsetExceptionHandler

Removes an exception handler from a thread's chain of exception handlers.

Syntax

#define INCL_DOSEXCEPTIONS
#include <os2.h>

PEXCEPTIONREGISTRATIONRECORD    pERegRec;  /* A pointer to the exception registration record
                                              that describes the exception handler to be
                                              unregistered. */
APIRET                          ulrc;      /* Return Code. */

ulrc = DosUnsetExceptionHandler(pERegRec);

Parameters

pERegRec (PEXCEPTIONREGISTRATIONRECORD) - input

A pointer to the exception registration record that describes the exception handler to be unregistered.

Return Code

ulrc (APIRET) - returns

DosUnsetExceptionHandler returns one of the following values:

• 0 NO_ERROR
• 87 ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

Remarks

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

DosUnsetExceptionHandler deregisters (removes) an exception handler from a thread's chain of registered exception handlers.

For a detailed list of the system exceptions, see System Exceptions.

Example Code

This example sets and unsets an exception handler named "MyTermhandler" from the thread's chain of exception handlers.

#define INCL_DOSPROCESS       /* DOS process values (for DosSleep) */
#define INCL_DOSEXCEPTIONS    /* DOS exception values */
#define INCL_ERRORS           /* DOS error values     */
#include <os2.h>
#include <stdio.h>
