        It does not say why it normally does.  I think the reason is that   
   a raiserror() with a severity >=11 triggers the catch block, but it is   
   not documented (that I can see).

        Thank you for some of the help.  I would write "all", but I feel   
   I will probably need more later.  I would rather have better   
   documentation instead of all of this educated guessing.
