About your question to do with exception handling : You can use a BEGIN END; block inside the program
and handle the execption for the inner block, so that the program does not terminate if an exception is raised.

example :

procedure test is
begin

  • code here begin
    • program code here exception when no_data_found then
      • handle the exception end;
        • continue processing exception when others then
          • handle exception end; -- procedure test

I have written heaps of complex reports and extracts using PLSQL. If you want to handle the
%NOT_FOUND then you can always open a cursor and use the fetch command inside
a while loop.

open cursor_1;
while cursor1%FOUND loop

   fetch cursor1 into v_variable1;
end loop;

BTW PLSQL tables are not that hard to use.

I hope some of this is some help. Received on Wed Apr 22 1998 - 02:29:15 CEST
