That is good, but if you give users the ability to *Ignore* errors you need to ensure that your code accounts for that.

For e.g. you always issue the DELETE command as DELETE IN .

If you are going to allow *Ignore* of errors you must be conscious of this as you write every line of your code and ensure that you will not cause data corruption when a procedure continues into code it is not supposed to.

Here is an example of correctily coding if you allow ignoring of errors:

IF NOT DBF() == UPPER(lcTableToZap)
ELSE
ZAP
ENDIF
