I'm trying to write a before-insert trigger program that validates the
values of fields and tries to prevent people from inserting junk.

I'm unclear on what to do if the record they're trying to add contains
invalid data. I need to determine the program that caused the trigger
and send it a message? I think I know how to find the offending program,
but what kind of message do I send it?
