Forcibly Stopping Mashup or Macro Processing

This example checks to ensure that filter results contain at least one row. If not, it constructs a result with an error message and uses <return/> to stop all further processing.

<output name="result" type="document"/>



<if condition="empty($rows)">
<variable name="msg" type="string"/>
<assign fromexpr="concat('No rows meet your criteria: ',$filterBy)"
outputvariable="msg"/>
<constructor name="result">
<rows>
<error>{$msg}</error>
</rows>
</constructor>
<return/>
</if>
