The situation is the following: I have a script that contains more then one batch of SQL DML statements and I want to interrupt script execution if any one of the SQL DML statements returns zero rows affected.

Thanks in advance to anyone that has some insight about this situation.

Check @@rowcount after every dml, exit the script if result is 0.

That's precisely what I'm looking for. A way to exit the entire script and not just the current executing batch, but I don't know the code to do that.

So if you could tell me the T-SQL code to do the exiting part, that would be great.

Try goto statement to jump to the end.

The GOTO cannot jump to a label outside of the batch so does not accomplish what I'm trying to do, but thanks for the replies anyway.

Create a temp table at the beginning of the script.

When you reach your exit condition, set a flag in the table.

Check the table in the rest of your batches, and exit if the condition is set.
