showDataMessages

Runs fetchMessages to retrieve all data-related messages (normally database update-related error messages) and calls the HTMLAlert function to show them in an alert box on the Web.

Location: webrep.p

Parameters: None

Returns: CHARACTER

Notes:

Returns the name of the field (if any) from the first error message, to allow the caller to use it to position the cursor.
This procedure expects to receive back a single string from fetchMessages with one or more messages delimited by CHR(3), and within each message the message text, field name (or blank) + a table name (or blank), delimited by CHR(4), if present.
