  Hi,

  Is there anyway to capture the output of raiserror() ?

  Error Message is having placeholders %s %s .. so i need to capture the actuall error message which is thrown by raiseerror()..

  Regards,

  Santhosh.

  something like this should work...

  declare

  @ErrorMessage NVARCHAR(4000),

  @ErrorNumber INT,

  @ErrorSeverity INT,

  @ErrorState INT,

  @ErrorLine INT,

  @ErrorProcedure NVARCHAR(200)

  begin try

  begin Tran

  .....

  commit tran

  end try

  begin catch

  begin try

  ROLLBACK TRANSACTION

  end try

  begin catch

  end catch

  SELECT

  @ErrorNumber = ERROR_NUMBER(),

  @ErrorSeverity = ERROR_SEVERITY(),

  @ErrorState = ERROR_STATE(),

  @ErrorLine = ERROR_LINE(),

  @ErrorProcedure = ISNULL(ERROR_PROCEDURE(), '-');

  SELECT @ErrorMessage =

  N'Error %d, Level %d, State %d, Procedure %s, Line %d, ' +

  'Message: '+ ERROR_MESSAGE();

  RAISERROR

  (

  @ErrorMessage,

  16,

  1,

  @ErrorNumber, -- parameter: original error number.

  @ErrorSeverity, -- parameter: original error severity.

  @ErrorState, -- parameter: original error state.

  @ErrorProcedure, -- parameter: original error procedure name.

  @ErrorLine -- parameter: original error line number.

  );

  end catch

  Sorry. Let me reframe my question.

  I know the message_id and the passing parameters value for raiserror().

  e.g..

  raiserror(60071, 10, -1, @a, @b-2)

  Error text for 60071 is "Product %S is not available in %S"

  so raisederror would be "Product @a is not available in @b-2". I need to capture this text.

  Catch it from where? In T-SQL or an app language like C#?

  If your supplying a severity level of 10 then it will not trip a T-SQL CATCH block. Your RAISERROR with severity 10 is equal to a PRINT statement.

  If connecting to SQL Server from .NET you can capture everything coming from the INFO message stream which is where PRINT and warning (i.e. RAISERROR with severity 10 or less) messages are written. If you're using .NET look into the SqlInfoMessageEventHandler class.

  If you know message_ID and parameters can you quiery sys.messages and reconstruct the actual message?
