## RAISE

Syntax

`procedure RAISE`

        (name in varchar2);

Description

Raises an exception to the caller by supplying a correct error number and token substituted message for the name of the error message provided.

Calls to TOKEN( ) and RAISE( ) raise predefined errors for Oracle Workflow that are stored in the WF_RESOURCES table. The error messages contain tokens that need to be replaced with relevant values when the error message is raised. This is an alternative to raising PL/SQL standard exceptions or custom-defined exceptions.

Error messages for Oracle Workflow are initially defined in message files (.msg). The message files are located in the res/<language> subdirectory of the Oracle Workflow server directory structure for the standalone version of Oracle Workflow or on your server in the resource/<language> subdirectory under $FND_TOP for the Oracle Applications-embedded version of Oracle Workflow. During the installation of the Oracle Workflow server, a program called Workflow Resource Generator takes the designated message files and imports the messages into the WF_RESOURCES table.

Arguments (input) | nameInternal name of the error message as stored in the table WF_RESOURCES.
