VBS Tutorial: Method-clear Method _vbs

Clear method

Clears all property settings for the Err object.

object.Clear

object should be the name of the Err object.

Description

Use clear to explicitly purge the Err object after an error has been processed. This is necessary, for example, when using On Error Resume Next to delay fault handling. When you execute the following statement at any time, VBScript automatically calls the Clear method:

• On Error Resume Next
• Exit Sub
• Exit Function

The following example illustrates how to use the Clear method.

  ' An error continues to the next Err.Raise 6 ' overflow error. MsgBox ("Error # " & CStr(Err.Number) & " " & Err.Description) Err.Clear '  clears the error.
