how to trap pl/sql error in shell script [message #97631]

I have a shell script which calls a packaged procedure. In my shell script, how do I trap an error which has happened in the pl/sql program, so that I can take some actions in the shell script. At the moment, I have an exception handler in my pl/sql program which rolls back the changes.
Thanks in advance,
T.

Hello,

You can use
set serveroutput on size 50000 before calling the procedure or package and inside the procedure or package you can use dbms_output.put_line to trap the variables.

Before calling the package you can spool the output so that the messages will come out.

It did not work out for me.

But I use the following to catch the details
of the error by redirecting into some file.

sqlplus -s usename/password@connect << EOF >> Logfile.txt
execute pl-sql_procedure_name
exit
EOF

The above is in shell script and I get the
message (success/ failure) in the Logfile.txt

Note that some things don't generate errors - like connecting to Oracle. If user/pass is wrong (or maybe if Oracle is unavailable) then you don't get a pl/sql error. A good way of handling that is to spool to a dummy file as the last command in the script. When you return to the OS and your dummy file is there (you obviouly clean it up after your run or before the next run) then you know that you got to the bottom of the file.

Try:

sqlplus <<FF
user/pass
whenever sqlerror exit 1;
whenever oserror exit 1;
@file.sql
exit 0;
FF
if [[ $? -ne "0" ]]; then
echo "ERROR"
else
echo "OK"
fi
