  Hi All,

  Please answer me for the following scenario(I am consfused with the actual output):

  A procedure ("XYZ") does not have exception handler. What happens if that procedure ("XYZ") is called by another procedure ("ABC") and an exception occurs?

  Will the exception handler in procedure "ABC" handle the exception occurred in procedure "XYZ" or will procedure "XYZ" exit without returning the control to procedure "ABC"?

  If an exception happens during storedproc XYZ execution it will abend with an unhandled exception.

  I would suggest to research exception propagation
