Can't find/use Exception OBJECT_NOT_FOUND in DBMS_DATAPUMP

Question

Oracle DB 11.2.0.1.0 on Windows 7 Enterprise
Hi All,
maybe I'm not looking at the right place but it seems like OBJECT_NOT_FOUND exception is missing in DBMS_DATAPUMP.
When I try to use "dbms_datapump.object_not_found" exception I have the following error:
PLS-00302: component 'OBJECT_NOT_FOUND' must be declared
Thanks for any help on this.

Never used the datapump, but taking a quick look it looks like it actually throws an invalid_argval exception, and you have to call the GET_STATUS function to get additional information about which type of error occured.
HTH,

-- EXCEPTIONS
--      The following exceptions can be generated by the DBMS_DATAPUMP API:
-- INVALID_ARGVAL, PRIVILEGE_ERROR, INVALID_OPERATION,
-- OBJECT_NOT_FOUND, INVALID_HANDLE, INVALID_STATE, INCONSISTENT_ARGS,
-- JOB_EXISTS, NO_SUCH_JOB, INVALID_VALUE, SUCCESS_WITH_INFO
  invalid_argval EXCEPTION; -- OK
    PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(invalid_argval, -39001);
    invalid_argval_num NUMBER := -39001;
-- "Invalid argument value"
-- *Cause:  The user specified API parameters were of the wrong type or
--          value range.  Subsequent messages supplied by
--          DBMS_DATAPUMP.GET_STATUS will further describe the error.
-- *Action: Correct the bad argument and retry the API.
