Yep, you could do that.  And I'm sure there is a possibility that such a 
construct will be used by someone somewere.   Though I doubt that the 
contents of ErrNumber4 will be of much interest when the contents of 
ErrNumber1 have found to be non-zero.

And that "just grab the errors, but chug on regardless" approach is quite 
dangerous when using anything else than the most simple of things (like 
calculations).

So personaly I would try to skip to the end of the "catch" block (using an 
"early death" OR comparision alike mechanism) when encountering the first 
error.  *Much* safer. :-)


But I have to ask, what part of the quoted message did you reply to ?

Sorry, I disagree, there is no obligation.

I have *no* idea why you said that.

If you skip the line I was responding on, 
such conversation is not very useful, Rudy.

Evertjan,

You mean, this line "But I have to ask, what part of the quoted message did 
you reply to ?"

Pray tell, how was/is your "Sorry, I disagree, there is no obligation." a 
response to it ?

No, you skipped responding to the question itself as well as  answering to 
it, but went for the end position instead.  A defensive one I might add 
(which makes me think you know very well what went wrong).

And "you keep using that word.  I don't think it means what you think it 
means" (from "the princess bride").

Ref: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/obligation

No, you are not legally bound to anything.  Still, although you are Duch (as 
am I) we still converse in English.  I wonder why ...    Some kind of 
obligation perhaps ?     And you copy-pasted something from my post into 
yours.  Another kind of obligation perhaps ?    You also put my name ontop 
of it ... yadayadayada.

And what you did violates *several* obligations.   With the major one being 
that you're supposed to keep the conversation in an order which your 
conversation partner can follow.  Which was what my question was all about: 
I did not see how what you quoted had any bearing on what you followed it up 
with, and I wondered if I missed something.    It turns out I didn't, as 
there was nothing to miss ...

But in that case, why did you copy-and-paste some random contents and put it 
above your problem description ?

Better yet, why did you pick me as adressee, as *nothing* in the problem you 
posted had any bearing on what I said or even might have indicated.   Heck, 
I've never even reference the "err.clear" command, and pretty-much the only 
one I did have an opinion on is not part (directly or indirectly) of your 
problem description.

And to make matters worse, the clearing-or-not of the error object by the 
disabeling of the error catching command would not change anything to the 
problem you described.

So, I think you are now able to understand my confusion about why you wrote 
that, as well as why you adressed it to me.   Nevertheless, I gave you "the 
benefit of the doubt", and responded to it as if I where actually the cause 
of it.   With only a single line asking for clarification.

... And you thought that going defiant would be the best course of action ? 
As far as I can tell you made a mistake bub, nothing more than that.  The 
world didn't end, and I have no intention to haunt you for it.     I just 
feel sorry that you feel that you had to respond the way you did.

Live long, and prosper (at least long enough to see the erring of your ways 
:-) )

No, I don't pray, not even when ordered to!

You seem not to understand how quoting works.

"I have to ask" is that not a statement of obligation?
