Standard Script Errors
**************************************************************************
It is recommended that scripting components use the following set of error
codes to signal failure when applicable. This enables applications that
use the OSA API to deal with some class of script errors in a less than
ad hoc manner. Scripting components are of course encouraged to return
component-specific errors when these don't apply.
*************************************************************************
*/
/*
Dynamic errors:
These errors result from data-dependent conditions and are typically
signaled at runtime.
*/
/*
Signaled when a value can't be coerced to the desired type. Similar
to errOSATypeError except results from coercion.
*/
/* Signaled when an object is not found in a container */
/*
Signaled when an object cannot be set in a container. Same as
AERegistry error errAEWriteDenied.
*/
/*
Signaled by user scripts or applications when no actual error code
is to be returned. Simply means "an error has occurred". Most useful
in conjunction with an error message from the application.
*/
/* Signaled when there is an attempt to divide by zero */
/* Signaled when integer or real value is too large to be represented */
/*
Signaled when application can't be launched or when it is remote and
program linking is not enabled.
*/
/* Signaled when an application can't respond to AppleEvents */
/* Signaled when an application's terminology resource is not readable */
/* Signaled when the runtime stack overflows */
/* Signaled when a runtime internal data structure overflows */
/*
Signaled when an intrinsic limitation is exceeded for the size of
a value or data structure.
*/
/*
Component-specific dynamic script errors:
The range -2720 thru -2739 is reserved for component-specific runtime errors.
(Note that error codes from different scripting components in this range will
overlap.)
*/
/*
Static errors:
These errors comprise what are commonly thought of as parse and compile-
time errors. However, in a dynamic system (e.g. AppleScript) any or all
of these may also occur at runtime.
*/
/* Signaled when data was not the right type and coercion is not allowed */
/* Signaled when a message was sent to an object that didn't handle it */
/*
Signaled when a function to be returned doesn't exist. (Probably only
useful in languages with first-class functions that distinguish between
functions and other values (two name spaces). This is different from
errOSAMessageNotUnderstood, which may be signaled when the method is
invoked.
*/
/* Signaled when a container can never have the requested object */
/* Signaled when index was out of range. Specialization of errOSACantAccess. */
/* Signaled when a range is screwy. Specialization of errOSACantAccess. */
/*
Signaled when an object can never be set in a container. Same as
AERegistry error errAENotModifiable.
*/
/*
Signaled when a syntax error occurs. (e.g. "Syntax error" or
"<this> can't go after <that>").
*/
/*
Signaled when another form of syntax was expected. (e.g. "expected
a <type> but found <this>").
*/
/* Signaled when a name or number is too long to be parsed */
/*
Signaled when a parameter is missing for a function invocation. Note
that in some languages, this error may occur at runtime.
*/
/*
Signaled when function is called with the wrong number of parameters,
or a parameter pattern cannot be matched.
*/
/*
Signaled when a formal parameter, local variable, or instance variable
is specified more than once.
*/
/*
Signaled when a formal parameter, local variable, or instance variable
is specified more than once.

/*
Signaled when more than one handler is defined with the same name in
a scope where the language doesn't allow it.
*/
/* Signaled when a variable is accessed that has no value */
/*
Signaled when a variable is declared inconsistently in the same scope,
such as both local and global.
*/
/*
Signaled when illegal control flow occurs in an application (no catcher
for throw, non-lexical loop exit, etc.).
*/
/*
Component-specific static script errors:
The range -2760 thru -2779 is reserved for component-specific parsing and
compile-time errors. (Note that error codes from different scripting
components in this range will overlap.)
*/
/*
Dialect-specific script errors:
The range -2780 thru -2799 is reserved for dialect specific error codes for
scripting components that support dialects. (Note that error codes from
different scripting components in this range will overlap, as well as error
codes from different dialects in the same scripting component.)

OSA Interface Descriptions
**************************************************************************
The OSA Interface is broken down into a required interface, and several
optional interfaces to support additional functionality. A given scripting
component may choose to support only some of the optional interfaces in
addition to the basic interface. The OSA Component Flags may be used to
query the Component Manager to find a scripting component with a particular
capability, or determine if a particular scripting component supports a
particular capability.

/* AESending: */

/*
Mode Flags:
Warning: These should not conflict with the AESend mode flags in
AppleEvents.h, because we may want to use them as OSA mode flags too.
*/
/*
This mode flag may be passed to OSALoad, OSAStore or OSACompile to
instruct the scripting component to not retain the "source" of an
expression. This will cause the OSAGetSource call to return the error
errOSASourceNotAvailable if used. However, some scripting components
may not retain the source anyway. This is mainly used when either space
efficiency is desired, or a script is to be "locked" so that its
implementation may not be viewed.
*/
/*
These mode flags may be passed to OSACompile, OSAExecute, OSALoadExecute
OSACompileExecute, OSADoScript, OSAExecuteEvent, or OSADoEvent to
indicate whether or not the script may interact with the user, switch
layer or reconnect if necessary. Any AppleEvents will be sent with the
corresponding AESend mode supplied.
*/
/*
This mode flag may be passed to OSACompile, OSAExecute, OSALoadExecute
OSACompileExecute, OSADoScript, OSAExecuteEvent, or OSADoEvent to
indicate whether or not AppleEvents should be sent with the
kAECanSwitchLayer mode flag sent or not. NOTE: This flag is exactly the
opposite sense of the AppleEvent flag kAECanSwitchLayer. This is to
provide a more convenient default, i.e. not supplying any mode
(kOSAModeNull) means to send events with kAECanSwitchLayer. Supplying
the kOSAModeCantSwitchLayer mode flag will cause AESend to be called
without kAECanSwitchLayer.
*/
/*
This mode flag may be passed to OSACompile, OSAExecute, OSALoadExecute
OSACompileExecute, OSADoScript, OSAExecuteEvent, or OSADoEvent to
indicate whether or not AppleEvents should be sent with the kAEDontRecord
mode flag sent or not. NOTE: This flag is exactly the opposite sense of
the AppleEvent flag kAEDontRecord. This is to provide a more convenient
default, i.e. not supplying any mode (kOSAModeNull) means to send events
with kAEDontRecord. Supplying the kOSAModeDoRecord mode flag will
cause AESend to be called without kAEDontRecord.
*/
/*
This is a mode flag for OSACompile that indicates that a context should
be created as the result of compilation. All handler definitions are
inserted into the new context, and variables are initialized by
evaluating their initial values in a null context (i.e. they must be
constant expressions).
*/
/*
This is a mode flag for OSACompile that indicates that the previous
script ID (input to OSACompile) should be augmented with any new
definitions in the sourceData rather than replaced with a new script.
This means that the previous script ID must designate a context.
The presence of this flag causes the kOSAModeCompileIntoContext flag
to be implicitly used, causing any new definitions to be initialized
in a null context.
*/
/*
This mode flag may be passed to OSADisplay or OSADoScript to indicate
that output only need be human-readable, not re-compilable by OSACompile.
If used, output may be arbitrarily "beautified", e.g. quotes may be left
off of string values, long lists may have elipses, etc.
*/
/*
This mode flag may be passed to OSAStore in the case where the scriptID
is a context. This causes the context to be saved, but not the context's
parent context. When the stored context is loaded back in, the parent
will be kOSANullScript.
*/
/*
This mode flag may be passed to OSAExecuteEvent to cause the event to
be dispatched to the direct object of the event. The direct object (or
subject attribute if the direct object is a non-object specifier) will
be resolved, and the resulting script object will be the recipient of
the message. The context argument to OSAExecuteEvent will serve as the
root of the lookup/resolution process.

This mode flag may be passed to OSAExecuteEvent to indicate that
components do not have to get the data of object specifier arguments.

OSAComponentFunctionInline(kOSASelectExecuteEvent, 16);
This call is similar to OSAExecute except the initial command to

defines any event handlers for that event, they are used to process
the event. If no event handler can be found in the context
errAEEventNotHandled is returned. If an event handler is found and
the hander "continues" control onward, the ResumeDispatchProc

should never return errOSAScriptError). Any error result returned by
the ResumeDispatchProc will be returned by OSADoEvent.
