RE: RPG Getting SQLCODE for Trigger's RAISE_ERROR

Robert,

The SQLCA structure is populated with the returns for the embedded
statement, which is why SQLSTATE returns 09000. I think the underlying
error can be parsed from SQLERM (SQL trigger &1 in &2 failed with
SQLCODE &3 SQLSTATE &4).

Subject: RPG Getting SQLCODE for Trigger's RAISE_ERROR

Hi all,

I have created a before insert trigger that performs a RAISE_ERROR
setting
the SQLSTATE and message when a certain validation fails. This is
working
fine, however when I call the insert statement from embedded RPG, I
cannot
figure a way to get at the SQLSTATE value that I have the trigger
returning
in the event of an error. SQLCA's SQLSTATE always has value 0900
effectively overlaying the error that I raised.

Do any of you know how to get at the error that is raised by RAISE_ERROR
when using embeded SQL in RPG?

Thanks,
