Are there any plans to suport SQLERROR and the SQLCA area, or
similar concepts as described in
http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/appdev.816/a76942/pc_09err.htm#30
49 or
http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/appdev.816/a76975/oci02bas.htm#42
5597?

I tried checking the docs for 7.1 in the Users' Lounge but my access
to them is *very* slow.
