Subject: [ib-support] Errors. Messages using BDE


> Hi
>
> When programmering up against a Firebird DB using D5 own DB Comp via
> BDE, I do my Insert, Updates, deletes etc in a Try Except rutine.
>
> My except part has a:
>
> E: Exception.
>
> This just returns a Error message which somewhere contains a SQLCode.
>
> I tried swithing to E: EUpdateError, since this has a E.SQLCode
> directly.
>
> But then it doesn't stop in my exception part but rather in my
> global exception part.
>
> Is there any other way to retrieve the SQLCode besides parsing to
> the message string to find the actual number ?
