How To Get Error Message In Sybase
in the language defined by the current setting of @@langid. format_string is a string of characters with a maximum length of 1024 bytes. Optionally, you can declare format_string in a local variable and use that variable with raiserror (see @local_variable). raiserror recognizes placeholders in the character string that is to be printed out. Format strings can contain up to 20 unique placeholders in any order. These placeholders are replaced with the formatted contents try catch in sybase of any arguments that follow format_string, when the text of the message is sent to the client. To allow reordering of the arguments, when format strings are translated to a language with a different grammatical structure, the placeholders are numbered. A placeholder for an argument appears in this format: “%nn!”—a percent sign (%), followed by an integer from 1 to 20, followed by an exclamation point (!). The integer represents the argument number in the string in the argument list. “%1!” is the first argument in the original version, “%2!” is the second argument, and so on. Indicating the position of the argument in this way makes it possible to translate correctly, even when the order in which the arguments appear in the target language is different from their order in the source language. For example, assume the following is an English message: %1! is not allowed in %2!. The German version of this message is: %1! ist in %2! nicht zulassig. The Japanese version of this message is: In this example, “%1!” represents the same argument in all three languages, as does “%2!”. This example shows the reordering of the arguments that is sometimes necessary in the translated form. @local_variable is a local variable containing the format_string value. It must be of type c

I've searched the web and the only option I found was the global variable @@error, but it didn' work as I expected, for example, the following code: begin tran update table1 set name = 'new name' where name = 'old name' update http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12808846/error-handling-in-sybase table2 set id = 1 where id = 30 -- suppose id has a unique constraint and there's already a row with id = 1 IF @@error = 0 begin print 'commited' commit end else begin print 'rolled back' rollback end The will indeed rollback somehow, because the name I've changed on table1 keeps the old value as I've tested here, but it doesn't print the messages, or execute any instructions I put after the instructions that causes the error Can anyone help me in this?

Here is my code: IF @ID IS NULL OR @ID <= 0 BEGIN RAISERROR 27001 'ID is ?????. ID cannot be null or less then zero.' RETURN 27001 END What I would like back is either: "ID is 0. ID cannot be null or less then zero." or "ID is null. ID cannot be null or less then zero."

ID cannot be null or less than zero." You can then call RAISERROR like you have above, or like this (if you want to use the message string you defined in sp_addmessage): RAISERROR 27001, @ID EDIT: (Addressing comment) First, if you're so inclined just register 27001 with a positional argument as the message: sp_addmessage 27001, "%1" Second, you're not FORCED to display the default message that you've registered using sp_addmessage; e.g., this ought to display a separate message regardless of what the default message is: RAISERROR 27001 @message share|improve this answer edited Jul 7 '09 at 18:12 answered Jun 30 '09 at 21:25 hythlodayr 2,0731121 This does work, but we reuse the range of 27000 - 27050 in all our procs. In other words, 27001 in proc a is not necessarily 27001 in prob b. So sp_addmessage is not an option for us. –JamesWampler Jul 6 '09 at 22:56 Actually, sp_addmessage is an option (see edited section to see how) and as
