Description of the illustration exception_init_pragma.eps

Semantics

exception_init_pragma

exception

Name of a previously declared user-defined exception.

error_code

Error code to be associated with exception. error_code can be either 100 (the numeric code for "no data found" that "SQLCODE Function" returns) or any negative integer greater than -10000000 except -1403 (another numeric code for "no data found").

If two EXCEPTION_INIT pragmas assign different error codes to the same user-defined exception, then the later pragma overrides the earlier pragma.
