Is there any way to trap errors from the assignment of a SQL*Plus variable
to a PL/SQL variable?

I have this in my executable section:

v_runcr := &&i_runcr;

(v_runcr is declared as a number)

I want to trap the case where either no value for i_runcr is specified at
runtime (and thus the assignment should be NULL) or a non-numeric character is specified (e.g., a letter).

I had hoped the WHEN OTHERS exception would handle it but it does not.

Any ideas?

Thanks
bill
