Setdiagnostics is a function which works by adding an error condition message into the SQL error stack. A trigger program comes from the SQL side of UV and runs within a transaction boundary, when the setdiagnostics() function is used it will cause the trigger to go into rollback mode on return from the trigger program.
See the UniVerse BCI Guide Chap 7 for syntax... ---------------------------- subroutine TRG.CUST.DELETE(...) open "AR.TRANS" to fvar then readu rec from fvar,oldnum then junk = setdiagnostics("Open receivables exist for customer ":oldnum:". Clear transactions before deleting this customer.") end else gosub DeleteCustomer: end end return >-----Original Message----- >The manual seems to suggest >that I could use SetDiagnostic to fail this . but I'm not even getting my >program to compile and can't find further information on the syntax of that >command. Anyone know how to tell the trigger to refuse the write? ********************************************************************** This email message and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of addressed recipient(s).
