| Description |
The help suggests 'attempt cannot return an error. But it can -- see example. Perhaps the help could be adjusted: help attempt USAGE: ATTEMPT block DESCRIPTION: Tries to evaluate a block and returns result or NONE on error. ATTEMPT is a native value. *** Same issue is true in R2 |
| Example code |
attempt [break] ** Throw error: No loop to break |

The BREAK breaks out of the ATTEMPT code block, *then* triggers an error when it doesn't find a loop. The error isn't generated by the BREAK function itself - it is generated by the top-level break catcher that gets overriden by the loop break catchers.
It's obscure and arcane, but not a bug :) |
