OK Simple-Talkers I have a interesting situation driving be nuttier than squirrel poo.

I have the following 2 steps in a scheduled SQL job I use to backup logs.  If for some reason a log file does not exist it will throw the error 22049.  I trap for it and want it to proceed with the remainder of the step before completing the job.  The issue I have is that if any error is raised in a SQL job step you have limited options: Quit Reporting Success, Quit Reporting Failure, or Go To Step X.  I need it to complete the step before making that decision.  That is not one of the options.  The action occurs on the first error - whether or not the error is handled gently.  If any error occurs the step stops.

Do I ask too much of the RDBMS I love so?!?
