I couldn't find a reference to $sth->more_results in the documentation, but I did find a reference to DBI::dum_results($sth).
If I add that to my code (snippet below): #this one does not $sql = "test_raiserror2"; print "\n\ntest_raiserror2 - usually doesnt work\n"; $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql); warn $DBI::errstr if $DBI::errstr; $rc = $sth->execute(); warn $DBI::errstr if $DBI::errstr; print "** dumping results: \n"; DBI::dump_results($sth); print "errstr: $DBI::errstr\n\n"; print "dropped\n\n"; then I get the following results (errstr is set, but it's a weird error) test_raiserror2 - usually doesnt work ** dumping results: '1' '1' 2 rows (-1: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Function sequence error (SQL-HY010)(DBD: st_fetch/SQLFetch err=-1)) errstr: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Function sequence error (SQL-HY010)(DBD: st_fetch/SQLFetch err=-1) dropped The error I expected is a raiserror in the sproc (sproc code below). Is the telling me that I am executing something wrong via the DBI? Or that my sproc has an issue (it runs well in the SQL 2000 Query Analyzer). I also tried adding a block of code to test for more_results, guessing at how to do it. Code snippet below. The results were the same as listed below in my first post. #if ( $sth->more_results ) #{ # while ( @row_ary = $sth->fetchrow_array ) # { # if ( $DBI::errstr ) # { # print "err: $DBI::errstr \n"; # } # else # { # print "**row: @row_ary \n"; # } # } #} Thanks for any help, Louise Mitchell -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Urlwin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 27, 2005 8:54 AM To: Mitchell, Louise M; dbi-users@perl.org Subject: RE: error string being lost in DBD::ODBC Try checking your second $sth for more_results.
