That's the problem--this *is* the entire result.

Something like
   UPDATE mytable SET mypet='cat' WHERE food='mice';

yields this error

But then checking
   SELECT * FROM mytable;

yields
  cat <delim> mice

where there was a prior entry of "snake, mice"

I've seen this message many, many times, and every time I've checked the db
contents when getting this one-word error, the commit was successful.

It's as if LC has a structure

SWITCH
  CASE lots
  CASE of
  CASE conditions
     put somenumber into theRes
     break
  DEFAULT
      put "revdberr," into theRes
      SWITCH
          CASE condition 1;
          put cr & gizmo after theRes
          break
       ...
      <no DEFAULT CASE in embedded
     END SWITCH
END SWITCH

return theRes


.But I absolutely agree that it makes no sense . . .
