Not sure I understand what you mean here. If there is 'no front end' to the
procedure, then how is it run? If no one fires it off (ie. Its from a CRON
job, trigger, or something like that), who get's the error message? Seems
that if no front end is there, then no one would be able to read any error
message either.

If a user fires it off, then there has to be some user interface here.
Hence raising an exception should be able to be handled by that user
interface.
