ADD_ERROR Procedure Signature 1

This procedure adds an error message to the error stack that is used to display an error on an error page or inline in a notification. It can be called in a validation or process to add one or more errors to the error stack.

Note:

This procedure must be called before the Application Express application has performed the last validation or process. Otherwise, the error is ignored if it does not have a display location of apex_error.c_on_error_page.

APEX_ERROR.ADD_ERROR (
    p_message          IN VARCHAR2,
    p_additional_info  IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
