Sir,

If, I have WHEN OTHERS exception in my block, and while processing my program, I get any non-Oracle Exception.
Will that non-Oracle exception get trapped in OTHERS exception?

My answer is NO, as OTHERS will only handle Oracle definewd exceptions or the non-defined Oracle exceptions. It will not handle non-Oracle exceptions like Form's Error messages or the User-defined messages.

But I just want a confirmation for this answer.

Thanks and Regards,
-Prachi G.

Correction: you have a BUG in your program.

Define non-Oracle errors within a PL/SQL block.
WHEN OTHERS catches each and every error that can occur during the execution of the PL/SQL block it handles.

Thanks Frank. Thanks a lot.

Do you mean WHEN OTHERS handle every error including non-Oracle errors, if not defined in the exception handling part?

Thanks

Reread my reply:

You keep mentioning non-Oracle errors. Give me an example of a non-Oracle error that can occur in a PL/SQL block.
Not some vague example like 'a Forms error', but a concrete description of what can go wrong.
