I like this solution. It works waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the

dbms_lock.sleep() suggestion ;)

Thank you.

Catch the error in an exception clause and ignore it.

SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> run
  1 declare
  2 x number ;
  3 begin
  4 x := to_number ('123^') ;
  5 exception

  6     when value_error
  7     then
  8        dbms_output.put_line ('Bad Number') ;
  9     when others
 10     then
 11        raise ;

12* end ;
Bad Number
Procedura PL/SQL completata correttamente.
