How do I capture an error from a compound report?

Greetings all, I ran into a problem yesterday.

I have a compound pdf report with about a dozen pieces in it, and in the event the last piece can't find the image I'm putting into its heading I want to capture the error and present a different result. The problem I discovered was that FocErrNum and Result both returned a zero from the error. That is, it appears that not finding a jpg for a heading halts the run but does not provide an internal error condition.

Can anyone recommend a way to determine that one of the reports has abended? I even tried running a pre-report with the same concept in it to a hold file, but that didn't set off the error codes either.

J.

I wonder if you could check for the existence of the image before the TABLE FILE.

Here is a test that will look for an image in the path.

The image is in IBISAMP, and is called smplogo1.gif.

APP PATH IBISAMP

SQL FMI SET SYSFILES GIF

TABLE FILE SYSFILES
PRINT *
WHERE FILENAME EQ 'smplogo1'
END
