Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA.
  Incident Diagnosis
  When LoadFromPDM API called from VBA script last
  error is cleaned after displaying erros in CATIA
  window
  .
  Restriction Explanation
  The last error has a meaning only inside a
  transaction so last error is cleaned at each end of a
  transaction.
  Hence when API called from client command,
  transction start in client code with CATCommand
  and End with command and last error can be
  retrived in client code using CATGetLastError().
  When same API called from VBA, tranaction start in
  interop code in Display() method and end after
  showing error in CATIA window and cleans the last
  error hence last errro can not be retrived from
  clients code using CATGetLastError.
