STBL("!OPTIONS","name=true") is equivalent to BBjConfig::setOptionSetting("name",1).

STBL("!OPTIONS", "name=false") is equivalent to BBjConfig::setOptionSetting("name",0).

BBjAPI().getConfig().setOptionSetting("SESSION_PINNING", 0)
BBjAPI().getConfig().setOptionSetting("SESSION_PINNING", 1)

Example 2 (using the ERROR_UNWINDS option in combination with SETERR)

seterr errtrap

setesc esctrap

BBjAPI().getConfig().setOptionSetting("ERROR_UNWINDS", 1)

class public foo

method public void bar()

#baz()

methodend

method public void baz()

a=40

b=0

rem now let the next line fail:

c=a/b

methodend

classend

a!=new foo()

a!.bar()

errtrap:

print "Error ",err,": ",errmes(-1)

input "Press CR to see stack (*)",*

sw! = new java.io.StringWriter()

pw! = new java.io.PrintWriter(sw!)

bbjapi().getLastBBjException().printStackTrace(pw!)

stack$ = sw!.toString()

print stack$

stop

esctrap:

print "esctrap"
