#!N #!Rerrsec Error Handling and Messages #!N #!EC #!N #!N Most
Data Explorer library routines return either a pointer or an integer
error code. A non- #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* NULL #!EF pointer or the nonzero
integer constant #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* OK #!EF indicates success. #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* NULL #!EF or
#!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* ERROR #!EF (defined as zero) indicates failure. #!N #!N If
a library routine fails, it may use #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* DXSetError() #!EF to
set an error code. If it does, the (user-written) calling routine
should return #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* NULL #!EF or #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* ERROR #!EF to propagate
the error back to the user. #!N #!N However, if the
library routine does not set an error code, the calling routine
should determine whether the #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* NULL #!EF return indicates an error:
#!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18* #!N #!N #!I30 #!N o If an
error is indicated, the calling routine should set an error code
(by calling #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* DXSetError() #!EF ) and return #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* NULL #!EF
or #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* ERROR #!EF . #!N #!I30 #!N o If no
error is indicated, the calling routine should proceed. #!N #!I0 #!N
#!EF #!N #!N #!N For example, #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* DXGetComponentValue() #!EF returns #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*
NULL #!EF if the specified component does not exist, but it
does not set an error code: the calling routine must determine
whether the absence of that component is an error. #!N #!N
How any one Data Explorer routine handles error codes is described
in the relevant entry in #!Lallr,dxall1162 h Data Explorer Library Routines #!EL . #!N #!N The error
codes are defined as follows: #!CForestGreen #!N #!N #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18* #!N typedef

Use #!Run #!N #!N When a function signals an error by
returning #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* NULL #!EF , it should also set an error
code and an error message, using one of the following error
routines: #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18* #!N #!N #!I30 #!N 1. #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*
DXErrorReturn(errorcode, message); #!EF Sets an error code and an error message,
then returns #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* NULL #!EF ; this function should be invoked
by the lowest-level routine that detects the error. #!N #!I30 #!N
2. #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* DXMessageReturn(message); #!EF Appends its own message to the message
already recorded; this should be done by routines that: #!N #!I0
#!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18* #!N #!N #!I30 #!N o Detect an error returned
by a lower-level routine that has already set an error code.
#!N #!I30 #!N o Contain useful information to add to the
message. #!N #!I0 #!N #!EF #!N #!N #!I30 #!N 3. #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*
return ERROR; #!EF Is used when an error return is detected
from a lower-level routine and the current routine has nothing useful
to add to the message. #!N #!I0 #!N #!EF #!N If
cleanup is required before return, #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* DXErrorGoto() #!EF or #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* DXMessageGoto()
#!EF may be used instead. Both routines require an #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* error:
#!EF label, after which cleanup is performed and either #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* NULL
#!EF (as shown here) or #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* ERROR #!EF is returned. #!CForestGreen
