You could test for _data is null, and if so check attnotnull in
pg_attribute. E.g. something like:
declare iattnotnull bool
[...]
begin if _data is null then select into iattnotnull attnotnull from pg_catalog.pg_attribute where attrelid =
'log'::regclassand attname = 'data'; if iattnotnull then _res.code := -1; [...]

There is currently no way to "catch" the exception in PL/pgSQL, but
maybe the above would work for you.
