  • Key Concepts: 
    A try/catch block is a programming construct used in SAP Data Services (EIM-DS) to handle errors that may occur during the execution of a script. It is composed of two parts: the “try” part, which contains the code that may cause an error, and the “catch” part, which contains the code that will be executed if an error occurs. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use a try/catch block in SAP Data Services, you must first define the “try” part of the block. This is done by writing a script that contains the code that may cause an error. Once this is done, you must then define the “catch” part of the block. This is done by writing a script that contains the code that will be executed if an error occurs. Finally, you must link the two parts together using a “try/catch” statement. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When using a try/catch block in SAP Data Services, it is important to ensure that your catch statement is specific enough to catch any errors that may occur. Additionally, it is important to ensure that your catch statement does not contain any code that could potentially cause further errors.
