Re: SQL*Plus errors... how to hide?

See the Code below. It worked fine for me.

Probably you have a raise_exception_error somewhere in the procedure.

SQL> create procedure RELEASE_PO_B_H ( in_number varchar2 ) is   2 v_number number;
  3 begin
  4 v_number := in_number;
  5 exception
  6 when value_error then
  7 dbms_output.put_line('You have entered an invalid number! Exiting program...');   8 end;
  9 /

Procedure created.

$ cat RELEASE_PO_B_H.csh
#!/bin/csh

sqlplus -s <DB String> <<EOSQL
set feedback off
set serveroutput on
exec RELEASE_PO_B_H ('yrugis');
EOSQL $ RELEASE_PO_B_H.csh
You have entered an invalid number! Exiting program...
