Abhijit,
Darn while writting an answer other people already did as well (coooool). I guess I'll still post my reply :).
In my example, I cause the error by doing 0/0 (can't divide by zero) but the loop still continues. You can copy/paste this in sqlplus and it should give you the same output as me.
--[START]
create or replace procedure sp_test as
li_loop number := -1;
li_temp number;
begin
while li_loop < 10 loop
li_loop := li_loop + 1;
begin
select li_loop/li_loop into li_temp from dual;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line ('ERROR IS : ' || sqlerrm);
end;
dbms_output.put_line ('loop value is [' ||to_char(li_loop) || ']');
end loop;
end;
set serveroutput on;
execute sp_test;
--[END]
ERROR IS : ORA-01476: divisor is equal to zero
loop value is [0]
loop value is [1]
loop value is [2]
loop value is [3]
loop value is [4]
loop value is [5]
loop value is [6]
loop value is [7]
loop value is [8]
loop value is [9]
loop value is [10]
