Forget the last post - of course, TEST(E) can do it.
The only downside is that you are effectively validating the value
twice.
For me I would only use TEST(E) if I anticipated a fairly high error
rate (for example when validating user input) but would use MONITOR
when I only expect 1 in a few thousand to fail.
Thanks to both Jon and Brian. The failure rate is more like 1 in 18k records, but at the same time, since there's a web service call involved in the program (as well as other time-expensive steps), double validation would likely have only a negligible effect on execution speed.
