Resume Statement
Resumes execution after an error-handling routine is finished.
Resume [ Next | line ]
- Resume
-
Required. If the error occurred in the same procedure as the error handler, execution resumes with the statement that caused the error. If the error occurred in a called procedure, execution resumes at the statement that last called out of the procedure containing the error-handling routine.
- Next
-
Optional. If the error occurred in the same procedure as the error handler, execution resumes with the statement immediately following the statement that caused the error. If the error occurred in a called procedure, execution resumes with the statement immediately following the statement that last called out of the procedure containing the error-handling routine (or On Error Resume Next statement).
- line
-
Optional. Execution resumes at the line specified in the required line argument. The line argument is a line label or line number and must be in the same procedure as the error handler.
This example uses the Resume statement to end error handling in a procedure and then resume execution with the statement that caused the error. Error number 55 is generated to illustrate use of the Resume statement.
