As soon as an error occurs in a macro or subMacro, execution of that macro or subMacro stops by default—even if the error is treatable. If the error was detected in a subMacro, the subMacro stops and the error is reported to the calling macro—which stops that calling macro. The error reporting continues to “bubble up” until all calling macros are stopped.

You can use the ON ERROR commands below to change the default error handling behavior. For example, you can prevent a macro from stopping when an error occurs using the command.
