Description
Queries the last error message from an SQL callSet by FM.InsertRecord, FM.SQL.Execute, FM.ExecuteSQL, FM.ExecuteFileSQL, FM.ExecuteSQLOnIdle and other SQL using functions.
If last error code was 0 (no error), you get an empty string.
Error may be something like this:

See also FM.ExecuteSQL.LastError. Use FM.ExecuteSQL.LastSQL to get the SQL command.
If you get error "FQL0013 Incompatible types in assignment" when using FM.InsertRecord or similar functions, the data type doesn't match. For a numeric field, you can use GetAsNumber() in the call to make sure the value is numeric. Same for date/time/timestamp fields and of course text fields, which may need a GetAsText().
