After an application program executes a SQL statement, it can examine a
return code. This return code indicates whether the statement executed
successfully or failed and gives the reason for the failure. The same mechanism
can be used to indicate the success or failure of a CALL statement to a
procedure.
Error reporting uses either the SQLCODE or SQLSTATE status descriptions.
Whenever a SQL statement is executed, a value is placed in special procedure
variables called SQLSTATE and SQLCODE. That value indicates whether or
not there were any unusual conditions encountered while the statement was
being performed. You can check the value of SQLSTATE or SQLCODE in an
IF statement following a SQL statement, and take actions depending on
whether the statement succeeded or failed.
For example, the SQLSTATE variable can be used to indicate if a row is
successfully fetched. The
"Using cursors on SELECT statements in procedures" used the SQLSTATE
test to detect that all rows of a SELECT statement had been processed.
For full descriptions of SQLCODE and SQLSTATE error and warning values
and their meanings, see "Database Error Messages" in Adaptive Server IQ
Reference Manual.
