Hello again, Can anybody tell me what the return values of system function xp_write_file() are (in SA12)? Documentation only says that "It returns 0 if successful, and non-zero if it fails." So what are those non-zero values and their meanings? |

I don't believe the lack of documentation is intentional. Here's a short summary:

The only non-zero values that are returned from the xp_write_file() function are the values -1 and +1. The value "1" indicates that the write failed. (Sorry, no additional information at this time is available). Just in case the return value ever changes in the future I would suggest that you write your code as: declare @rv int; set @rv = xp_write_file( ... ); if @rv != 0 then -- handle error condition else -- write succeeded. end if; |
