The RuntimeError object inherits from the Throwable object and is used by the PowerBuilder virtual machine (PBVM) to throw runtime errors. Runtime errors are also called unchecked exceptions. You do not need to declare where they might be thrown and you do not need to catch them as you do checked exceptions.
When a RuntimeError is thrown, its properties are populated automatically with the runtime information associated with the line where the error occurred. If a RuntimeError is not handled, the Application object SystemError event is triggered and the global Error object is populated with the runtime information.

The following derived types provide more robust error-handling capabilities:

?DivideByZeroError - thrown when an attempt is made to divide by zero.
?NullObjectError - thrown when an attempt is made to access an object using a null reference.
?PBXRuntimeError - thrown when an unknown error occurs in a PowerBuilder extension.
?CORBASystemException - thrown when a CORBA system exception is thrown from EAServer.
?DWRuntimeError - thrown when a DataWindow error occurs that is not handled by an Error event script.

?OLERuntimeError - thrown when an OLE error occurs that is not handled by an ocx_error, ExternalException, or Error event script
