Hi Ales

Thanks for your suggestions
Hwever.... How will it possible to use such a function when
it has to be used on Java Project with a web server?..I am
writing a similar function which will be called by a java servlet and I cannot declare a variable at their end.
Now the things are working with me when I am calling the exception part from another function. However personally I didnt favour this method as it adds one more function and since I am going to use cursor at many places so many of functions also will be added.
I am sure there must be other way out.
Can anybody suggest a way out based on my example.

Amol
