Notices and Errors

Andromeda supports (and in fact requires) delayed error reporting.

When an error occurs in code, the error is saved temporarily using ErrorAdd, and execution then always continues to the end. The errors are then reported when the HTML is sent to the browser.

There can be multiple errors in one request. Any framework function that sends commands to the database server will also take database server errors and run them through ErrorAdd so that they can be reported.

An error is anything at all that causes the user's expected action not to occur. A notice is information that the user may need that is not an error.

The Andromeda default screens report all errors and notices. When you make a completely custom screen or template, you must make provision to report errors and notices.
