Description
Specifies whether PowerBuilder should display terse error messages for ODBC drivers. A terse error message is one without the SQLSTATE=nnnn prefix, where nnnn is the number of the error message.
By default, PowerBuilder displays ODBC error messages with the SQLSTATE prefix. To display error messages without the SQLSTATE prefix, set MsgTerse to 'Yes'.

Default value
MsgTerse='No'
Usage
You can set the MsgTerse parameter to 'Yes' to display shorter ODBC error messages in PowerBuilder. This might be useful if space on your screen is limited.
For example, suppose you are using the Data Pipeline in PowerBuilder to pipe data to a SQL Anywhere ODBC database, and errors occur while you are executing the pipeline. If MsgTerse is set to 'No' (the default value), pipeline errors display in an Error dialog box with the SQLSTATE prefix (for example, SQLSTATE=23000).
If you specify MsgTerse='Yes' in the database profile of the SQL Anywhere destination database, the Data Pipeline displays terse ODBC error messages without the SQLSTATE prefix.
For instructions on using the Data Pipeline, see the the section called “Working with Data Pipelines” in Users Guide.
Examples
To specify that PowerBuilder should display terse error messages without the SQLSTATE prefix:
-
Database profile
Select the Display Terse Error Messages check box on the System page in the Database Profile Setup dialog box.
-
Application
Type the following in code:
SQLCA.DBParm="MsgTerse='Yes'"
