Detailed Description

The OnError tag can be used either once or multiple times in a script.

When Continue is set to True and an error occurs, the application will jump to the next action in the script and continue running.
When Continue is set to False and an error occurs, the application will stop and the current error will be displayed in the dialog box.

The default behavior of applications when they encounter an error in an XML script is equal to <OnError Continue="False"/>.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ytriaAutomation Application="databaseEZ" ApplicationVersion="16.5">
	<Load Server="ACME01/ACME"/>
	<OnError Continue="True"/>
	<Select Database="log.nsf" Select="True"/>
	<SelectColumn target="grid" columnID="D1"/>
	<OnError Continue="False"/>
</ytriaAutomation>

In the script above,the entire server ACME01/ACME will be loaded into the database selection tree of databaseEZ, the action OnError states that if the application running the script (in this case databaseEZ) encounters any errors after line <OnError Continue="True"/>, the script will continue running until the end or, if applicable, the next instance of the OnError tag sets the error handling otherwise <OnError Continue="False"/> and a subsequent error is encountered. The database "log.nsf" will be selected in the tree and loaded into the main grid. The column with the ID of "D1" will be selected.
