Exception HandlingLocate this document in the navigation structure

If exceptions are propagated from a called procedure or raised by a RAISE EXCEPTION statement, they must be explicitly declared in the signature of the calling method or handled by an appropriate TRY CATCH block.

In the source code editor, several functionalities are available for exception handling and these can be triggered at the following positions:

  • Cursor inside statement with procedure call
  • Cursor inside RAISE EXCEPTION statement
  • Selection of multiple statements with procedure calls and/or RAISE EXCEPTION statements
Source Code Selection That Includes Raised Exceptions

The exception(s) are added to the signature of the calling method or surrounded with a TRY CATCH block.
