The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 2785
Logged by: Patrick Hayes
Email address: pkhayeskp@hotmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.1
Operating system: Windows Professional
Description: Exception Issue
Details:

I am defining Exception blocks. When I put something that others in the
when clause, it will not compile. The others clause works fine.

The following is working fine.
BEGIN

PPSDATA.member_date_of_birth=date(substr(ROWDATA.inline,55,4)||'-'||
substr(ROWDATA.inline,59,2)||'-'||substr(ROWDATA.inline,61,2));
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
ERRORCODE:='Y';
PPSERROR.current_month_error:='*';
END;

The following is not working fine.
BEGIN
select count(*) into cnt_county from county_code
where county_code = PPSERROR.member_county_code;
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data then
PPSERROR.member_county_code_error:='*';
RAISE NOTICE ' ---county_code_error out %', PPSERROR.member_county_code;
ERRORCODE:='Y';
END;

I get the following error.

postgres-# language plpgsql;
ERROR: unrecognized exception condition "no_data"
CONTEXT: compile of PL/pgSQL function "chip_pps_data_check" near line 101

Thanks

Indeed, because no_data is not an error condition, so EXCEPTION can't
catch it. Possibly you could do something with testing the FOUND
variable instead.

Tom,
Thank you for your input. I found a way to check for it by counting the
return from a count. Thanks again for your help.
