Re: Eval Exception Error Trapping

John,

It works pretty well to code an I/O server that provides database 
access and does error handling when business rules are enforced via 
triggers or constraints.  The error handling is really pretty simple with what 
is available today.  I just return a status flag and a set of error flags from 
the I/O server.

...I agree.  We are being told that all business rules should be in the
database and not in our applications.  This means we need to rely on the
database to generate the error and RPG to handle it.
The error handling needs to be designed to allow programmers to easily
take advantage of this.  Yes I know you can do it now through *PSSR but
what percentage of programs in use today actually use it ??  I know I
inherited several thousand which never even heard of it.
