Do not expect this behave like Javascript try catch and ignore all errors. But it does have one useful behaviour. Normally when runtime error occurs in SQF (unlike when there is compile error) it continues to execute till the end. But if the script is placed in try {} scope and throw is used upon error, the script immediately terminates, exits the try {} scope and enters catch {} scope. This way it is possible to process possible exceptions in civilised manner.
