PL/SQL Sample code and error handling mechanism

SAMPLE PL/SQL CREATE TABLE dummy ( dummy_value VARCHAR2(1)); DECLARE -- Define local variable. my_string VARCHAR2(1) := ' '; my_number NUMBER; BEGIN -- Select a white space into a local variable. SELECT ' ' INTO my_string FROM dummy; -- Attempt to assign a single white space to a number. my_number := TO_NUMBER(my_string); EXCEPTION WHEN no_data_found THEN dbms_output.put_line('SELECT-INTO'||CHR(10)||SQLERRM); END; / Output and Error: The program returns the following output, which illustrates formatting user- defined exceptions.  The CHR(10) inserts a line return and provides a clean break between the program's SQLCODE and SQLERRM messages: RAISE my_error SQLCODE [1]  SQLERRM [User-Defined Exception]
