Question:
When I use any of the BDE access units (DbiTypes, DbiProcs,
DbiErrs), any attempt to raise a "silent exception" using calls to the
abort procedure in my unit fail to compile, and I recieve the error
"Statement expected, but expression of type 'Integer' found". I have
looked for the DbiTypes.pas, DbiProcs.pas, and DbiErrs.pas files to
check for an inconsistency, but I am unable to find these files. Where
are the files located, and how can I get around this error?
Answer:
The DbiTypes, DbiProcs, DbiErrs units are aliased to the "BDE"
unit, as declared under the IDE's main menu for
Projects->Options->Directories/Conditionals->Unit Aliases. The source
code for the DBE unit is located in Delphi's "doc" directory, and is
named "BDE.INT". In this file, you will find that there is a constant
named ABORT that has a declared value of -2. Since you want to use the
procedure Abort() that is located in the SysUtils unit, you will need
to fully qualify your call to the abort procedure by prefixing the
name of the SysUtils unit to the Abort procedure.
Example:
SysUtils.Abort;
