VBA Return Values (Error Codes)

Describes available return values for VBA functions and their respective descriptions to indicate success or failure of the function.

Oracle Smart View for Office VBA functions may return any of the values in Table 2-2 to indicate success or failure of the function.

  • A return value of zero (0) indicates that the function ran successfully.

  • A return value of 1 or 2 indicates that the function ran successfully, but with a condition.

  • Negative return values indicate client issues.

  • A return value of 4 indicates a server issue.

Note:

Return values are often referred to as error codes.
