MATLAB Runtime Server

Ignore Errors

In continue mode, the Runtime Server does not suspend execution when an error is encountered, and does not inform the user of the error. As a result of the error, the application might lose some portion of its functionality. The degree to which the application is affected typically depends on the source of the error; a few possibilities are:

• Limited loss of application functionality. For example, if a button callback string contains a misspelled function name, the Runtime Server might generate the following error when the button is pressed:

??? Undefined function or variable 'function'.
??? Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback.

The error message is not visible to the user, and the error itself does not impact any other area of the application, although the affected button might be unresponsive.

• Unexpected application behavior. For example, if an error is generated as the result of invalid input to a mathematical function, the application might generate inaccurate results. Since the error message is suppressed, the user might not be aware that a problem has occurred.
• Failure of the application. A severe error might lead to a substantial loss of functionality. The user might be forced to quit the application.
