Re: ESQL-C - Errormessages

I do: char lbuf[512], rbuf[512]; rgetmsg(sqlcode, lbuf, 512); if (sqlca.sqlerrm[0]) sprintf(rbuf, lbuf, sqlca.sqlerrm); else strcpy(rbuf, lbuf); return rbuf; Of course this assumes that there is only one format directive in the string returned by rgetmsg, and I've never seen any documentation. (in 4.10).
