On Error GoTo
ActionStep Reference » Programming » Flow Control » On Error GoTo
The On Error GoTo ActionStep activates a rule that causes execution to automatically jump to a specified label when an error occurs within a selected group of ActionSteps. The error can occur at any point within this group. The rule remains active until it is explicitly canceled or overridden by an On Error Continue ActionStep or another error handling directive.
