Raiserror

Is there a way to raise an exception inside a user function in the Sqlserver2000?.Guess not

Did you check out BOL for specifics?

CREATE FUNCTION udf_myFunction99 (@.x varchar(8000))
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
RAISERROR 50001 'Error Raised'
RETURN -1
END
GO|||Originally posted by Brett Kaiser

I got the error

Server: Msg 443, Level 16, State 2, Procedure udf_myFunction99, Line 5
Invalid use of 'RAISEERROR' within a function.|||Yeah, I know...That's why I said:

"guess not"

Check out books online for a better description of Functions...

I know there a few limitations...

What are you trying to do?

There are many limitations I know, but this one I didn't found.
I supose its not allowed to use RAISERROR in functions.
I am generating a calc module from a CASE system using only functions. So far I found a solution for every limitation. Otherwise I will have to rebuild the entire system using only stored procedure instead of functions.

That1s why I am looking for some "magic" to raise the exception.

Thank You.|||...or we could hope for a miracle...

Since you haven't been able to raise out in the other functions, why do you want to with this one?

And yeah, sprocs would have been the way to go (MOO)...how are you using the functions?
