MATLAB: Rethrow a whole error as warning

Question

Hi all

I use a try-catch to capture error information and rethrow it as a warning to prevent program termination:

      % stuff
      try 
        % do stuff
      catch ME
        warning(ME.message)
        continue
      end
        % do other stuff

However, by using warning(ME.message) you do not get all error messages.

Alternatively, if you use rethrow(ME) you do get all the error messages (including functions and lines), but you terminate the running program.

Is there a way to get the same messages you get with rethrow(ME) without terminating the running program?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, an alternative is

    try 
        % do stuff
    catch me
        disp( getReport( me, 'extended', 'hyperlinks', 'on' ) )
    end

getReport is "documented"

>> help getReport
 --- help for MException/getReport ---
   getReport Get error message for exception.
      REPORT = getReport(ME) returns a formatted message string based on the
      ....

Why continue?
