-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When compiling a C++ program that uses the TRY and CATCH macros to implement
exception handling, the compilation fails with the following error message:

  error C2060: syntax error : end-of-file found

With Visual C++ 32-bit Edition, the following error is generated:

  fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found

CAUSE
=====

A CATCH (or AND_CATCH) block is not closed with the END_CATCH macro. The CATCH
macro creates a code block that is to be terminated by the END_CATCH macro.

RESOLUTION
==========

Modify the program code to add the END_CATCH macro to the exception handling
code.
