I have this bit of code I found on the web at the end of each of my stored procedures:

ROLLBACK TRANSACTION           PRINT '-----START: ERROR DETAILS-----'          PRINT ERROR_NUMBER()          PRINT ERROR_SEVERITY()          PRINT ERROR_STATE()          PRINT ERROR_PROCEDURE()          PRINT ERROR_LINE()          PRINT ERROR_MESSAGE()          PRINT '-----END: ERROR DETAILS-----'              DECLARE @prmErrmsg NVARCHAR(4000);             DECLARE @prmErrSvr INT;              SELECT @prmErrmsg = ERROR_MESSAGE()                 ,@prmErrSvr = ERROR_SEVERITY();              INSERT INTO dbo.myErrors                         ([ErrorMessage]                         ,[ErrorSeverity]                         ,[DateCreated])                  VALUES                         (@prmErrmsg                         ,@prmErrSvr                         ,GetutcDate())               RAISERROR(@prmErrmsg,@prmErrSvr,1)

It’s writing entries to the myErrors table, but it’s not writing an error message or an error severity.

My first question is why?

I believe it’s got something to with the error severity being within a certain range.

How can I tell it to log verbose error messages ALWAYS, regardless of severity?

  1. According to MSDN, ERROR_MESSAGE() etc are only set within the CATCH block of a TRY … CATCH statement.
