Hi,

i have a package where currently am making calls to private procedures from public procedure.

and the senario is:-

create package body p_tst
is

ex_failed exception;

-- this is private proc
procedure p_private
is
begin
.
.
raise ex_failed;
exception
when ex_failed
then
raise;
.........
end p_private;

procedure p_public
is
begin
....
-- nomaking call to private
-- procedure
p_private;

-- here i need to catch
-- the raised exception
-- passed from the called
-- procedure
when ex_failed
...
end p_public;

end;

basically i want to catch the exception being passed from called procedure to calling procedure, and raise the same exception in calling procdure.

is it possible to catch the same exception in the calling procedure?
