Capturing SQL server error logs with SQL restores

Question

Hi All.
I have a stored procedure which restores a database, the issue I'm having is that when the stored procedure fails due to space issues.
If the stored procedure is executed from SSMS, get error similar to the below.
Msg 3257, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
There is insufficient free space on disk volume 'X:\Datadrive\' to create the database. The database requires 897725691812 additional free bytes, while only 776828129280 bytes are available.
Msg 3119, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
Problems were identified while planning for the RESTORE statement. Previous messages provide details.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
However, looking at the SQL server output file I only see
Msg 3013, RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
(1 rows(s) affected)
Msg 50000, Sev 16, State 1, Line 94 : Msg 3013, RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000]
I have the catch block as follows.
SET @Error = ERROR_NUMBER()
SET @ErrorMessage= ERROR_MESSAGE()
SET @ErrorMessage = 'Msg ' + CAST(@Error AS nvarchar) + ', ' + ISNULL(@ErrorMessage,'')
SELECT @ErrorMessage
RAISERROR(@ErrorMessage,16,1) WITH NOWAIT
My objective is that I want to get the first detailed error message in my output file, however I am not sure what is being done incorrectly. The issue is that the error details in the output file doesnt really say what the issue is.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Can you replace catch block as per below code
DECLARE @ErrorMessage NVARCHAR(4000), @ErrorProc NVARCHAR(126), @ErrorLineNo INT;
-- ERROR HANDLING - Grab Error code and throw
SELECT @ErrorLineNo = ERROR_LINE(), @ErrorMessage = ERROR_MESSAGE(), @ErrorProc = ERROR_PROCEDURE();
RAISERROR('Error %s occurred in %s. Line %d', 16, 1, @ErrorMessage, @ErrorProc, @ErrorLineNo) WITH SETERROR;

Thanks for the response.
Can you please confirm what the code will do, the reason I ask is that we have temporarily resolved the space issue. If i want to test this however, I would need to re-create the scenario. I would like to have an understanding of what this code will do.
Thanks in advance.
