This suppresses *all* exceptions (as you don't specify *which* error you want to ignore.
Exception when others then null
This is however generally speaking *extreemly bad* programming practice. To ignore a specific error
your_error exception;
pragma exception_init (your_error, -<error number>)

exception when your_error then null

This should be documented in the PL/SQL manual

Please also try to refrain as much as possible from excessive crossposting as you won't get a bigger audience. This topic belongs in .server only
