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.
