Below is the contents of a SPROC I have. I want to return the error
info in the catch block for it so I call RaiseError. But the
ERROR_STATE() always comes up as 0 which is ilegal since it must be
between 1-127 I guess. So I wrote a stupid if block to set it to 1 to
stop that error.

But I'd really rather not do this. Can anyone tell what's wrong? Why am
I not getting a correct return from ERROR_STATE()?

Thanx much:





BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRANSACTION
DELETE FROM WebUser2Role WHERE WebUserID = @WebUserID

INSERT INTO WebUser2Role
SELECT value, @WebUserID FROM fIntList2Table(@RoleIDList)
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
DECLARE @ErrorMessage NVARCHAR(4000)
DECLARE @ErrorSeverity INT
DECLARE @ErrorState INT

SELECT
@ErrorMessage = ERROR_MESSAGE(),
@ErrorSeverity = ERROR_SEVERITY(),
@ErrorState = ERROR_STATE();

IF @ErrorState = 0
BEGIN
SET @ErrorState = 1
END

IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0
BEGIN
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
END

RAISERROR (@ErrorMessage, @ErrorSeverity, @ErrorState )

END CATCH

IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0
BEGIN
COMMIT TRANSACTION
END
