Hello, I have a function that checks if a column exists in the current database. This is required because in some instances that column might not exist. My current code works mostly fine, but it raises an error and that might break stuff. For example, calling this function during a DataFlex Reports RDS load event might stop the report or it could affect a BusinessProcess execution. I need something similar that doesn't raise an error in order to avoid it. I have tried to "silence" that error with some workarounds but it didn't work. Do you have any ideas to do that with no internal errors?

Current code:

Code:
Function DoesColumnExist Integer iTableNumber String sColumnName Returns Boolean
        Handle hoErrorHandler
        Boolean bExists
        Integer iField
        
#IFDEF Is$WebApp
        Move ghoWebErrorHandler to hoErrorHandler
#ELSE
        Move Error_Object_Id to hoErrorHandler
#ENDIF
        If (hoErrorHandler=0) Begin
            Function_Return False
        End
        
        Move (Uppercase(sColumnName )) to sColumnName
        Move False to Err
        
        Send Ignore_Error of hoErrorHandler DFERR_CANT_FIND_FIELD
        Field_Map iTableNumber sColumnName to iField
        Send Trap_Error of hoErrorHandler DFERR_CANT_FIND_FIELD
        Move (not (Err) and iField > 0) to bExists
        
        Function_Return bExists
    End_Function
* I know it can be done using SQL queries (I don't need it to work with the embbeded database) but I prefer to avoid it as a custom query for each database engine would be required.
