Return sqlplus error to calling Unix shell [Merged] [message #352839]

I posted this earlier for a different question.
I have a database procedure that will produce an error.
How can I trap that error in the calling Unix script?
This is how I call sqlplus from the unix script

  sqlplus -s username/password <<eof
    whenever SQLERROR exit 2 rollback
    whenever OSERROR exit 3 rollback
    exec database_utils.test_error;
  eof

The procedure is

  PROCEDURE test_error IS
  BEGIN
    raise NO_DATA_FOUND;
  END;

I am using Oracle 10g and AIX for the shell scripting.
I have already researched spooling the output to a file and then parsing the file in Unix. Also I had thought to add an OUT parameter to the procedure, but I have approx 100 procedures to modify then.

Thank you in advance

I have a third question regarding this process.
I have a database procedure that will produce an error.

The procedure is

  PROCEDURE test_error IS
  BEGIN
    raise NO_DATA_FOUND;
  END;

This is how I call sqlplus from the unix script

sqlplus -s username/password <<eof
whenever SQLERROR exit 2
whenever OSERROR exit 3
exec database_utils.test_error
eof
  ERRORCODE=$?
  echo $ERRORCODE

In this case the ERRORCODE is 3

If I change the code to this

sqlplus -s username/password <<eof
whenever OSERROR exit 3
whenever SQLERROR exit 2
exec database_utils.test_error
eof
  ERRORCODE=$?
  echo $ERRORCODE

the ERRORCODE is 2.

It seems that the whenever statement is not reacting prolerly. It always takes the exit statement from the last whenever code. Is there something wrong with my script?

I am using Oracle 10g and AIX for the shell scripting.

Thank you in advance
