-The assignment attempt is necessary because retrieved returns a result of type [[ref:/libraries/base/reference/storable_chart|STORABLE]] whereas the type of x will be based on a proper descendant of [[ref:/libraries/base/reference/storable_chart|STORABLE]] . If the structure in the file has been corrupted and retrieved is unable to do its job, it will trigger an exception. The code for that exception in class [[ref:/libraries/base/reference/exceptions_chart|EXCEPTIONS]] (which inherits it from EXCEP_CONST and is discussed in the next section, together with the notion of exception code) is Retrieve_exception.
