MSSOAP error trapping 1

[dkausa4851]

I'm using MSSOAP in vpf9. I'm calling the GeoCode function with the correct parameters and most of the time all is well. BUT, if the function does not find the address sent, it sends an error back to my program and displays an ulgy system message before I display my message to the user.

GeoCode is supposed to send back a lat/lon in an array, two strings. If it can't find the address, it sends back a false. How can I trap this before it displays its cryptic error message???

Thanks


leArr = oGeo.GeoCode(cStreet, cCity, cState, cZipCode, this.u_sessioncode)

IF TYPE('leArr[1]') = 'L'
lcErrorMsg = "Unable to retrieve Lat/Long co-ordinates "
MESSAGEBOX(lcErrorMsg)
ELSE
this.rlatitude = leArr[1]
this.rlongitude = leArr[2]
this.rReturnCode = "0"
ENDIF

You should call the function within a TRY structure:

try
leArr = oGeo.GeoCode(cStreet, cCity, cState, cZipCode, this.u_sessioncode)
* code if it succeeded
catch to loException
* display your own error if it failed
endtry
