Hi,

Easily done but maybe not the most intuitive. You need to use an error handler for Sybase such as:

error handler

UPDATE:
Derby caught an omission in my error handler. Namely, I missed copying the part which handles print statements. When a print statement occurs, the syb_err_handler() is called with $err being null. Thanks Derby for catching that!!
