Let script fail intentionally

alexsid-qlik — Mon, 19 Oct 2020 13:48:07 GMT

Dear community,

I am trying to let my script fail on purpose. I already tried what is described here: https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView-App-Development/How-can-I-intentionally-create-a-script-error/m-p/185420

But setting the ErrorCode to 1 like this LET vErrorCode = 1; did not work.

Do you have any other idea? My intention is to use this app as task which can trigger another app reload if it was successful but if not successful the other app should not start.

Best regards,

Alex

you may have misunderstood. miguel is writing a statement which will fail

so he is calling a variable o which doesnt exist $(=o)

i myself have done this

cause an error deliberately by this statement

load * from CauseError.qvd;

when that qvd doesnt exist
