Amazing how that is true of so much software.

I assume you are looking for 'DBMS' error messages (e.g "invalid tablename in 
SELECT " or "constraint violation on INSERT") as 
contrasted to "A DBMS action succeeded at the DBMS level but Delta had a 
problem?"

I don't know Delta (although I may have to learn quickly and soon), but if 
there is no 'native' facility for this you could look at 
creating your own "exit" type code which will. return what you want.

Or, maybe you could code up your stored procedure as a FUNCTION and have it 
return an error message. That's what I just did using 
Mercator with Oracle; works good.
