Examples

Example 1: A message stating whether the function completed successfully

@function1()
%IF ("$(RETURN_CODE)" == "0")
 The function completed successfully.
%ELSE
The function failed with the return code $(RETURN_CODE).  The error message
   returned is "$(DTW_DEFAULT_MESSAGE)".
%ENDIF

Example 2: The default text for when a function returns a non-zero return code

%MESSAGE{
default: {<h2>Net.Data received return code: $(RETURN_CODE). 
Error message is $(DTW_DEFAULT_MESSAGE)</h2> %} : continue
%}

The user sees the default error message, if a function returns a return code other than 0.
