OriginPro 9.0.0 SR2 64-bit, Win7 64-bit, running in VMware Fusion 5.0.3


Let's say I have developed a LT script in Origin 9 but want it to be able to run the script in an earlier version of Origin. How can I test if a given X-Function exists in the earlier version?

For example, the "insert_graph_to_layer" X-Function was introduced in 9. What can I add to my script to make the script not stumble in Origin 8.x?

What would be the most elegant/classy way too?

Script within braces runs in a new context - the same as script running in a called OGS. Errors within these new contexts do not stop a script (or even output an error message) they simply return.

You can use this information in the following way:

flag = 0;
{
insert_graph_to_layer;
flag = 1; // If an error occurs, this never runs
}
if(flag == 1)
continue; // No problem
else
{
ty -a An Error has occurred.;
// Uncomment following line to stop script completely
// break;
// or execute error handling which lets script continue
// your handling here
}
ty -a Continuing ...;
