Purpose
The SUPPRESSES_WARNING_6009 suppresses the 6009 PL/SQL warning improving the handling when an exception handler does not use RAISE or RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR to raise an active exception.
In some situations, where the application code intentionally calls a handler routine and is not intended to stop processing, the compiler’s default behavior may be too aggressive. This pragma bypassing the 6009 warning.
