Stored procedures
Customizes the management of HFSQL errors.
WINDEV, WEBDEV and WINDEV Mobile propose an automatic management of errors. The automatic management of errors can be disabled or enabled for one or more data files, for one or more types of errors. To do so, use HOnError and specify an empty string for the name of window, page or procedure. For more details, see Assisted HFSQL error handling.

HFSQL Client/ServerStored procedures The automatic management of errors is not available for the stored procedures.
Stored procedures HOnError can be used to manage the error in a stored procedure.

Syntax
<Result> = HOnError(<Data file> , <Type of error> [, <Procedure/window/page>])
<Result>: Boolean
  • True if the operation was successfully performed,
  • False otherwise. HError returns more details about the problem.
<Data file>: Character string
Name of the data file used. If this parameter is equal to "*" the customization will be applied to all data files found in the analysis or defined through programming.
<Type of error>: Constant or combination of constants
Type of error to configure.
hErrAllConfigure all previous errors (except hErrIndex).
hErrConnectionLossConfigure the errors caused by a loss of connection with the HFSQL server.
hErrDatabaseAccessConfigures the access errors to an HFSQL Client/Server database (access forbidden by HNoDatabaseAccess).
hErrDuplicatesConfigure duplicate errors.
hErrIndexConfigures indexing errors (reindexing in progress during the file access).
hErrIntegrityConfigure integrity errors.
hErrLockConfigure lock errors.
hErrModifyConfigure a modification conflict.
hErrNeedValueConfigure errors caused by a required value that has not been specified (OLE DB and some Native Connectors).
hErrPasswordConfigure password errors (wrong password).
<Procedure/window/page>: Optional character string
Corresponds to:
  • Name of object method if HOnError is called in a method of this object.
  • Parameter not specified. If "Enable the automatic HFSQL help" is checked in the project, the default window or page for automatic management of errors is used for the specified type of error and for the specified data file.
  • Empty string. In this case, the automatic management of errors will be disabled.
    Remark: To disable the automatic management of errors, you also have the ability to uncheck "Enable the automatic HFSQL help" in the project.
Remark: In some cases (loss of connection errors for example), the procedure/window/page will be run during the next call to the WLanguage function following the event that triggered the error.
Special case: using a window, a page or a procedure found in a component: The following syntax must be used:
Procedure:
HOnError(<Data file>, <Type>, ...
"<Component>.<Name of set of procedures>.<Procedure name>")

Window:
HOnError(<Data file>, <Type>, "<Component>.<Window name>")

Page:
HOnError(<Data file>, <Type>, "<Component>.<Page name>")
HFSQL Client/Server If a loss of connection occurs, to ask for reconnection, this procedure must call HReconnect.
Remarks

Operating mode of custom errors

The procedure, window or page used to customize the error must return one of the following constants:
opCancelThe function that triggered the error returns an error as if the assisted management was disabled.
Remark: For the errors of loss of connection, the error is fatal.
opEndProcessThe function that triggered the error returns an error and the current process stops. Equivalent to the following line of code:
IF NOT <HFSQL function> THEN SetFocusAndReturnToUserInput()
opEndProgramThe function that triggered the error returns an error and the program stops. Equivalent to the following line of code:
IF NOT <HFSQL function> THEN EndProgram()
opRelaunchProgramThe program stops and the application is automatically restarted.
opRetryThe function that triggered the error is re-run.
HFSQL Client/Server If a loss of connection occurs, to ask for reconnection, HReconnect must be used in the procedure called by HOnError.

Using a class method to customize the errors

<Name of procedure or window> can also correspond to a method of an object if HOnError is called in a method of this object. All you have to do is specify the name of the method to use (without using the object name as prefix).
A fatal error occurs if the object used in the call to HOnError is no longer allocated when the HFSQL engine calls the method

Customizing the default error windows

The default error windows are supplied (as well as their WLanguage code) for information in the "\Programs\Data\Preset windows\HFSQL - Automatic help windows" directory.
These windows can be customized, included in your projects, and passed as parameters to HOnError.
For more details, see Assisted HFSQL error handling.

Customizing default error pages

The default error pages are supplied (as well as their WLanguage code) for information in the "\Programs\Data\Preset pages\HFSQL - Automatic help pages" directory.
These pages can be customized, included in your projects, and passed as parameters to HOnError.
For more details, see Assisted HFSQL error handling.
