Job and Stored Procedure Problems

I've written 2 stored procedures.
Proc 1, cycles through the system table and pulls out the names of all DB's.
Proc 2 is called by Proc 1, after it grabs 1 of the database names. It then
performs a type of backup based on a flag:
F = Full, D = Differential, and T = Transaction Logs.
I capture any errors and return them to Proc 1, so I can formulate an email
giving status.
At the end of Proc 1, I generate an email and ship off, giving the status of
each of the backups.
The process works just fine, if you do the TSQL statement through a query
window, reporting the status of the backup or error message. The problem I
am having, is when i schedule the job. To test it, I took one of my DB's
offline. When I run it through the Query Window, all errors and successes
report just fine.
When I run it through the Job, it fails at the offline database and kills
the entire job. Since the email isn't sent till the end of proc 1, the
email is never being generated, because upon failure of proc 2, it aborts
the entire job with an error.
It still backs up all the databases, just doesn't finish the email portion
of the process.
I've played with the job options, to continue to next step, even though one
doesn't exist, exit with success, doesn't do it, I've even played with SET
XACT_ABORT OFF
Thanks.Hi Kevin
You should be checking the status of the database in sysdatabases to exclude
offline one.
