Abstract
When an object-oriented program calls a native SOM method, a data structure is created for handling exceptions. If an exception occurs during the execution of the SOM method, data values relating to the exception are placed in the data structure, and it is labeled to identify its type. This label is used to select a class within the object-oriented program having properties similar to the exception. An instance of this class is allocated, and the exception data is copied into the object, which can then be used to generate an exception within the object-oriented program.
