Detailed Description

Represents a specific occurrence of an exceptional situation in a program.

An exception combines a type with a detailed error message and specific information about what went wrong in this particular instance.

After an exception is thrown, it propagates through the program and MAY be caught by an appropriate CATCH or CATCH_ALL block.

Remarks

When an exception is caught, EXCEPTION MAY be used to retrieve the exception currently being handled. This allows for inspection and further handling of the error, based on both its type and the detailed context of the situation.
