SQL*Plus errors... how to hide?

List,

I have a shell script that executes a sql*plus script (which executes a procedure) based on user input.

But what if the user inputs an invalid datatype? The exception section handles the error and displays a user-friendly message but I still get an error stack. I want to hide this from the user. How can I do this? I have set feedback and echo options off. See output below:

PO Reconciliation Batch Release

---

Enter batch number to be released:
yrugis
You have entered an invalid number! Exiting program... **[I want to suppress the errors below]** BEGIN RELEASE_PO_B_H('yrugis'); END;

*
ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01722: invalid number
ORA-06512: at "TRAIN65D.RELEASE_PO_B_H", line 16
ORA-06512: at line 1

Thanks,
Saira
