Thread: calling function

hi
i have one function which send message named sendmessage.this function returns false if sending failed.now i want to give 3 tries to this function in case of failure.i meant this function will be called maximum three time in case of failure.and in all 3 attempts message being not send then i want to call a error routine.how to do this.

Code:

 bReturn = SendMessage(BatchGuid, "Admin", "TR",Senderid, 1, asLines(i), Null)
      If Not bReturn Then
        'raise an error
        mClientErrorAdd asLines(i), _
                          ERR_NO_GHS_MESSAGE_SEND
      End If

hope it make some sense.

You can wrap it in a For...Next statement, checking the condition each time.

For example:

Code:

For i = 1 To 3
    bReturn = SendMessage(BatchGuid, "Admin", "TR",Senderid, 1, asLines(i), Null)
    If bReturn Then
        ' Message was sent, exit loop
        Exit For
    Else
        ' There was an error, if 3rd attempt, call error message routine
        If i = 3 Then
            ERR_NO_GHS_MESSAGE_SEND
        End If
    End If
Next
