GDAC Files Error Messages


ERROR MESSAGES

SDK Errors

Errors will be generated if a user application uses the interfaces' properties and methods incorrectly.  To catch errors, the user has to use the "try-catch" block in C++ or Java or "On Error GoTo<label>" in Visual Basic.

Format

The error message format is:
"Failure in <interface name>-<function name>: <error description>"

where:
<interface name> is the interface name that the user used
<function name> is the function name where the COM error occurs
<error details> is the details of the error.

Example

The following error is be generated if the user has used IGDACEXPFiles interface to read an experiment file but without setting the experiment file name first.
"Failure in IGDACEXPFiles-Read: The experiment name should not be empty"
