ExampleTransaction Functions

Syntax

lr.failTransWithError( errorMessage ); 

Arguments

ArgumentComments
errorMessage The message to output.

The lr.failTransWithError function sets the default exit status to LR_FAIL for all open transactions with LR_AUTO in their lr.endTransaction statement and sends an error message.

The message is sent to the output window.

A transaction's final status is defined in the status parameter of the lr.endTransaction statement. If this status is LR_AUTO, then the value is automatically assigned. By default the value assigned is LR_PASS, which signifies a successful transaction. lr.failTransWithError changes this default value to LR_FAIL.

Return Values

On success, returns the length of the message that was sent. On failure, returns a negative number.

Parameterization

You cannot use standard parameterization for any arguments in this function.
