Can anybody tell me what
ERROR('');

is used for? I see it in standard code occasionally and have no idea what it's there for! An example is in Report 6 - Trial Balance, in the MakeExcelInfo() function:
ExcelBuf.CreateBook;
ExcelBuf.CreateSheet(Text002,Text001,COMPANYNAME,USERID);
ExcelBuf.GiveUserControl;
ERROR('');

Thanks

    This statement terminates execution, without giving a message to the user.

    Why use that rather than, for example,
    Exit

    or
    CurrReport.Quit

    ?

    ERROR will rollback the current transaction. Don't know if that makes sense in your case.

    ERROR also rolls back any changes made so far in the database.

    It's only used in very special situations. Normally you want to give an error message to the users.
