This method adds an error to the error list that is maintained by the OpenAccess SDK SQL engine at the environment, connection, or statement level. The error string is returned to the client. This is the only way to pass the IP-specific error information to the client. An IP method uses dam_addError to return an error by adding an error and returning DAM_FAILURE. Error messages that are added using this function are reported with SQL state HY000. Use dam_addErrorEx to specify the SQL state. Using dam_addError is the recommended approach to report back errors to the client.
