What is wrong with my Try Catch in T-SQL?

Question

I am using SQL Server 2008 and when I run this Statement in Management studio the Select statement in the Catch Block is executed as expected

BEGIN TRY
 INSE         


        

Answer 1

Workaround with dynamic sql. Maybe it will be helpful for someone.

begin try
    exec('
        insert into IDontExist(ProductID)
        values(1)
    ')
end try
begin catch
    select 'There was an error! ' + error_message()
end catch
