[Coco] error trapping

[Wayne Campbell]

OK. Seems I can never get this right. Think BEFORE you ask! LOL

I slept on it after posting this, and when I woke up this morning, the first thing in my mind was "use the system call". I did, and it's working fine.

Subject: [Coco] error trapping

I need to know how to trap an error generated by the makdir command when it's being executed with a SHELL statement in a Basic09 subroutine. If I try to use it, and the directory already exists, the error is displayed on the screen, despite the fact that I am using a ON ERROR GOTO statement to trap it. Execution resumes in the correct location in the code, but I can't find anything in the OS-9 manual about suppressing error messages.

Can anyone help?

Wayne
