does it look like

  loop
     ...
    exception ...
     ...
  end loop

If so, then note that "exception" must be in a block,
such as a procedure body, or a block statement (LRM 5.6):


   loop
     begin
       ...  -- handled sequence of statements
     exception ...
     ...
     end;
   end loop

More complete examples would help reducing guess work.
