Solution 1

Of course you can program an endless loop inside the procedure, for example WHILE 1 = 1.

However, I cannot imagine a situation when this would make sense. For example
- The control does not return to the calling program until the execution ends
- The execution will be ended by force when a timeout occurs

So what I suggest is that you consider some other kind of approach which suits you, depending on the problem.

Suppose in this
select 5-'a'
select 4+3

if first statement thorws an error it should go to second statment

You can use try block

Okay, so the problem is that you want to continue even if an error pccurs.

As Andy Lang already pointed out you can utilize error handling. Have a look at TRY...CATCH (Transact-SQL) | Microsoft Docs[^] and RAISERROR (Transact-SQL) | Microsoft Docs[^]

Solution 2

Maybe you can use Trigger(s) instead, see:

If you are saying stored procedure should complete its execution inspite of errors then write you logic in try - catch block (as written in comments). when error occurs, in the catch block you can put all your errors ,say in some error_table , detailing error message and if any key columns you want to store and it will keep running the procedure.

later you can do select * from you error_table to see the errors stored proc encountered.
