srv_wsendmsg (Extended Stored Procedure API)

Important

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Do not use this feature in new development work, and modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible. Use CLR integration instead.

Sends a Unicode message to the client.

Syntax


int srv_wsendmsg(SRV_PROC * 
srvproc
, int 
msgnum
, int 
severity
, WCHAR * 
message
, int 
msglen
);

Arguments

  • srvproc
    Is a pointer to the SRV_PROC structure that is the handle for a particular client connection. The structure contains information the Extended Stored Procedure API library uses to manage communication and data between the application and the client.
  • Msgnum
    Is a 4-byte message number.
  • Severity
    Specifies the severity of the error. A severity less than or equal to 10 is considered an informational message; otherwise, it is an error.
  • message
    Is a pointer to a Unicode string to be sent to the client.
  • msglen
    Specifies the length, in characters, of message.

Returns

SUCCEED or FAIL.

Remarks

Use this function to send messages in Unicode. It is similar to srv_sendmsg, but the message it sends is a WCHAR string rather than type DBCHAR string. Note that message length is reported in characters rather than bytes, and msglen will never be equal to SRV_NULLTERM.

The function returns FAIL when

  • The msglen given is not in the range of 0-32242.
  • The msglen given is 0 but the message pointer is NULL.
  • There is error when sending the error message through network.
