database connection failure in inline command

Sbardeo

Hi,
I am connecting to database through an ipl which is inline command in a DCT. When database connection fails, while opening dct it gives error of database connection failure. I want to customize the error like alert message and closing the DCT automatically.

I tried to use eval{}; code to trap a error and from server side displaying an alert, but that alert is not getting displayed.

Please tell me how to display an customized error in this scenario

Thanks in advance!!!

In your IPL code if you get an error, create a field in the dct and on itemChange (that would happen when you populate that field with the error message you received) of that field display an error alert using formAPI and then close the window..

Not sure whether this is do able or not just a wild guess (haven't come across anything like this yet so...).
