HP ALLBASE/SQL PC API User's Guide

Error Handling 

Errors are documented in three places depending on where they are
detected.

   *   The ERROR.SQL file contains errors generated by Gupta C/API. This
       file is included with the PC API product.

   *   The appendix "Error Messages from the PC Client" contains errors
       from the PC client.

   *   The ALLBASE/SQL Message Manual contains the ALLBASE/SQL errors.  A
       typical error will look like this:

            22333 2208 Column ! not found in table/view !.! (DBERR 2208)

       where

       22333                 is the PC API error number returned to the
                             application.

       2208                  is the ALLBASE/SQL error number that you can
                             use to look it up in the ALLBASE/SQL Message 
                             Manual.

       !                     is a place holder for specific information
                             about your error.

Some applications do not return errors from ALLBASE/SQL; instead the
following message is displayed:

     2559 HP ALLBASE Server error; Double click on PC API icon.

To see the error message, double click on the PC API icon.  An Error
dialog box like the one in Figure 4-1  appears.  Click on the Latest
button to read the error message.


          Figure 4-1.  The Error Dialog Box 

The Connection List in the Error dialog box shows the list of open
connections to database servers.
