Hi Roland: Unfortunately, you do need to code an exception handler within each procedure. The scope of the exception exists within the procedure only. Packages are simply a collection of procedures. All code within the Package Body must be within a procedure.
What I have done is create an exception handler process that informs me as to what procedure fails, what table was being processed, etc. It is quite simple, but does add a few extra lines and formality to your code. If you want this, I can send it to you directly. Please let me know. Thank You Stephen P.

I would like an exception which tells me an error message if any of the procedures fail. So if procedure 1 fails I would get an error message or if procedure number 2 would fail, or proc number 3 e tc then I would get an error message, which tells me which procedure that fails. I tried this, but didnt work. Just give me an easy example on this. I tried to look it up in the manual but didnt get it work. Should I put the exception after each procedureis finished. Like this: And should I name the exceptions in different ways, for instance givethem the names EXCEPTIONS1, EXCEPTIONS2 etc. p1 exception p2 exeption p3 exception p4 exception p5 exception Thanks in advance Roland -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
