Examples
In this example, if the rate value is not found then there is no point continuing so a warning message is added to the log file and analysis for this recordset stops. No records are written to the database for this recordset.
ifNull(in.rate,stop("Missing rate value"))
In this example, an error() message is recorded in the log directly before the processing of records is stopped. This is useful where an error message is required in the logs.
ifNull(in.rate,
do(
error("Missing rate value")
stop("Processing being stopped")
)
)
