Error Handling
Do not put error-handling statements in the SQL scripts.
...
Datical DB has its own error-handling that wraps SQL scripts. Specifying error-handling within the statements is not necessary and can prevent the script from being simulated in Forecast.
Deployment Packager fails with an error if it encounters statements before an object definition for scripts in a stored logic folders or where packageMethod is defined as packageMethod=STOREDLOGIC.
