Hi Deepti,

exception is a very high level of error, exception will close the current program/transaction with a long message.

an error will only stop the action of the user, the data is not lost.

Hi Deepti,

When errors occurs program terminates

abruptly,In order to avoid this we catch this

error as exception.

Ex

when we divide 1 / 0 we get divide error and

program terminates , But we can can avoid this but

raising exception like

when 'Divide error'

message 'Divide Error'.

Hi,

Exceptions...we can raise or cath them and handle....

Errors...will be occured automatically.....

Other way is if an error occured...we can rise an exception and handle.......

ex: if a<> 0.

c=b/a.

else.

raise arthemetic_excp.

endif.

We can handle this arthemetic_excp exception ....for ex we can display a msg that..."div by zero not possible".
