How to exit a procedure

Hi,
Suppose have the following condition in my procedure :

IF var_count = 0 then

'stop processing' --EXIT PROCEDURE
ELSE

'continue processing'

END IF;

How do I stop futher processing if var_count= 0 . I think about raising an exception...but is there another way out..like a command 'exit' to stop further processing ?

Thx...

why not simply

Code:

IF var_count <> 0 THEN 
-- process stuff 
END IF;

But if you prefer the more complicated way, you can use the return statement

Code:

IF var_count = 0 THEN 
  RETURN;
ELSE
  -- do processing
END IF;
