If you omit the catch block, the system will catch the thrown exception and will attempt to open an application of your choice for debugging the error. The following code sample includes an inner try...catch...finally statement embedded inside the try block of an outer try...finally statement. Notice that the outer statement does not have a catch block:

  try {
    print("In outer try block...");
    try {
      print("In inner try block...");
      throw "Error 325 from inner try block";
    } 
    catch(e) {
      print("Inner catch block caught " + e);
      throw e + " re-thrown from inner catch block";
    } 
    finally {
      print("In inner finally block...");
    }
  } 
  finally {
    print("In outer finally block...");
  }
Here is the window you would get:

To avoid such windows, always catch exceptions yourself.
