How to handle error in Module_startup()? [message #1659]

Champs,

What is the recommended way to handle and error in <<Mod>>_Module_startup()? Should I raise an error? Should I create a local error block and pass this to other modules? Should I always return NOTDONE when an error occurs?

Thanks

Since startup occurs _very_ early, before main(), it is best to _never_
fail in startup. It's very difficult for a user to determine what the
problme is when their application never makes it to main().

You can set a flag in your startup to indicate the failure and then fail
"normally" in your modules API's due to a startup problem.

If, on the other hand, it is important that the application not proceed
if the startup fails, you can call System_abort().
