Kinda scary basing production code on an undocumented call like that. Maybe the folks in Isreal can shed some light on the issue.

Hi Charles,

I recently stumbled upon very old mskb #151090 How to create a stored procedure in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 to return a specific error message to the user in Visual FoxPro. It uses that RAISERROR format w/o any references to SQL Server help/docs.
