Have to agree with Niall on that. If the procedure catches the error
internally and forgets it then your screwed no matter what you try to
do. Course you did say you could not re-invent the wheel here, just
adapt. So your at the mercy of the duhveloper who may or may not have
simply left error handling to someone else too. Think of the number of
PL/SQL packages that don't include the exception handler at all.

watchout for procedures that already 'handle' errors, esepcially those
that handle them with "when others then null" a.k.a "forget anything
happened, move along, these are not your errors" . You wouldn't think
pl/sql developers used vb practices, but they do.

Lee,
It may be possible, but then it could also backfire so trail
is necessary, but you could try:
set serverout on size unlimited
begin
<procedure1>;
<procedure2>;
exception
when others then dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
end;
/
This should allow the procedures to run one at a time in serial,
but if an error occurs the pl/sql block will catch it, report the error,
and then exit back to sqlplus gracefully.

Hi,
Oracle 10gR2
AIX 6
Within a SQL*Plus script I have a number of calls to PL/SQL
procs.
I want to, on failure of any of the PL/SQL scripts, drop back to
the calling SQL*Plus script and on return not go any further...i.e do
not call any of the other Stored Procs in the SQL*PLus script.
Ideally I would also like to report back to the calling SQL*Plus
script the errors from the failed PL/SQL.
I cannot re-engineer, I just need to make what is already there
work if it is at all possible.
Any suggestions after you have all stopped laughing ?? !!!
Regards and TIA
Lee
