[CHAN Chor Ling Catherine (CSC)]

Hi Audrey,

Try this, it will stay in the loop 

        i := 1;
        while i < 10 loop
          for j in (select the_name from the_table into myvar where the_id =
i) loop
              .....
          end loop;
        end loop;
        .....

Hope it helps.

Regds,
Catherine

        Subject:        a PL/SQL question - how to catch errors without
going into except

        Dear gurus !
        I'm wondering whtether i can catch an SQL error (from inside a
PL/SQL proc)
        without jumping to the EXCEPTION block
        OR
        is there a way to jump back to the body of the proc from the
EXCEPTION block
        (i know that GOTO can not do it).

        For example , assume i have users with IDs 1,2,5,6 in my table and i
want to
        do some loop like this

        i := 1;
        while i < 10 loop
          select the_name from the_table into myvar where the_id = 1;
        end loop;
        .....

        I will be thrown to the EXCEPTION block as soon as i becomes 3.
        And i can never go back to the loop from the EXCEPTION block , in
order to
        continue looping  ;-(
        So , can i just tell PL/SQL something like "never mind if U fail
(i.e. an
        exception is thrown) , just go to the next iteration ...

        I'm wondering if there is something similar to PERL's 
         next if .....

        Thanks a lot
        Andre
