>My guess was about usual use of COMRETURNERROR(). For example, at the server side, when SQLExec command failed, take information from aerror array and return from routine using COMRETURNERROR. At the client side than we can see that query failed and why it is failed. No error handling involved here at the server side.

Thus I consider this function have little of use for error handling at the server side, just a tool to report error to the client from server using some standard and strateforward approach.

If a server crashes while transacting with the client, does not the client loose it's instance?
