Create or replace procedure test
IS
i number := 6;


begin
IF (i>6) then
------holds true then exit the procedure
ELSE
------some operation
------some operation
------some operation
	if (condition) then
	------some operation
	else
	------some operation
	end if;
end if;

----here suppose i call another stored procedure
----than some insert query
----some operation

exception
end;
\


Here i want to exit the complete procedure , or i want to stop the procedure as i>6 , what command do i need to use?

hi flyboy

return will only end the subprogram, but i want to stop the whole procedure after that, nothing should be executed as soon as that command is encountered, Exit also doesnt seems to work like that.

You can move the code after end if to before the end if or you can use goto and label.

I may be blind but I do not see any subprogram in the pseudocode nor the description you posted.

But, what about change the sub-procedure to sub-function; return specific value for each case (proceed/not proceed) and evaluate it after every its call.

FYI, similar to the GOTO (that is universally seen an bad coding practice), you can (mis)use exceptions to jump to the end. It has the advantage that you could do common pre-exiting functionality like logging or whatever
procedure p1
is
...
   exit_now  exception;
   v_stage varchar2(40);
begin
...
 v_stage := 'i>6?';
 if (i>6) then
 then
    raise exit_now;
 end if;

 v_stage := 'i>10?';
 if (i>10) then
 then
    raise exit_now;
 end if;

...

exception
 when exit_now then
   --null;
   log_to_table(v_stage);
end;

I totally agree.
It even has the benefit that you can jump out of several layers in the call-stack, if you assign a number to your exception through a pragma.
