How to turn off @error

[Phenom]

Inside a for loop, I check for @error. If an error occurs the first time around the for loop, then throughout the whole for loop @error will be true, even though there wasn't any error. How can I reset @error to 0 at the beginning of the for loop?

Phenom,

@error is reset to 0 after the next successful command, so there should be no need to reset it in the code before you check again.

Could you please post the code you are using so we can offer more pertinent advice.

You're right. It does get reset. I was getting a new error due to something else, which I fixed.

Phenom,

Glad you got it sorted.

After reading the Help file carefully, I realise that what I said above is not entirely true - @error is reset to 0 as you enter the function, and then reset to another value as you return if an error occurred. The end result is the same, but I thought I would mention it in case any pedants looked in.

If you ever do want to set the @error value yourself, on return from a function for example, you can use SetError.
