DISPLAY ONLY CUSTOM MESSAGE WITH SRW.MESSAGE

Question

Hi.I created a report with Report Builder 9i.I also created two form parameters of type date.I put inside the validation trigger in the property inspector the following plsql code.
function FROM_DATEValidTrigger return boolean is
v_date VARCHAR2(12);
date1 date;
begin
v_date := :from_date;
date1:=TO_DATE(v_date, 'DD/MM/YYYY');
return (TRUE);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
SRW.MESSAGE(546,'My Message');
return (FALSE);
end;
This code works fine.Supose the user input wrong data for example 29/02/2003 displays an alert message
with my custom message.But after this displays an another message from the Report Builder like this:
Rep-0546:Invalid parameter input.
My question is .Is it possible display only my custom message with the SRW.MESSAGE built in procedure?
Thanks in advance Panagiotis.

Hi,
I am using this function in my Validation process to display Error when user gives null input
function DEPT_IDValidTrigger return boolean is
begin
     -- Check for Null Value here
     if(:DEPT_ID is null) then
     raise SRW.NULL_ARGUMENTS;
     else
return true;
end if;
     Exception
          -- Exception For Null Value
when SRW.NULL_ARGUMENTS then
     srw.message(100, 'Please Enter Dept ID');
raise srw.program_abort;
end function ___ ;
Function is correct but the error message i am getting at the client side is as follows ::
"*MSG-00100: Please enter Dept IDREP-1419: 'dept_idvalidtrigger': PL/SQL program aborted.* "
It seems it is adding some system level error.
but i want only my custom message to be displayed on the client side ::
*"Please Enter Dept ID"*
Is this Possible in Oracle 6i.
