William,

The error generated in your example is an IO error and can be trapped with
ON_IOERROR. It is a bit of a pain that CATCH will not catch this type of
error, but all is not lost.

PRO junk
; catch,error
; IF error NE 0 THEN BEGIN
; message,!error_state.msg,/info
; return
; ENDIF

ON_IOERROR, bad_data

t = ['01','aa']
tt = fix(t,type=2)
;print,"I'm here"
;message,!error_state.msg,/info

; help,!error_state,/st

Return

bad_data:
help,!error_state,/st

END

Regards,
