	DBstsCOAR	Operation not allowed on AddRow workspace
	DBstsCPAR	Cannot position at AddRow
	DBstsCXIN	Could not execute insert or update
	DBstsENTR	Entry missing

message$

String. The error message that corresponds to errorvalue. The message begins with "LS:DO" to distinguish it from other LotusScript messages.

You can test for an error with one of the following techniques:

• Check the return value of GetError immediately after a method or property is used.
• Create an error handler and use On Error.
