Using the Database

Interpreting Errors

TurboIMAGE/XL provides two library procedures, DBEXPLAIN and DBERROR, which can be

used to interpret status information programmatically. DBEXPLAIN prints on the $STDLIST

device an English language error message which includes the name of the database and

the name of the procedure that returned the status information. DBERROR returns the

English language error message contained in a buffer speciﬁed by the calling program.

Abnormal Termination

Under certain conditions, the calling process can be terminated by TurboIMAGE/XL.

Conditions giving rise to process termination and a description of the accompanying error

messages are presented in appendix A.
