SQL Trigger - Commit Update and CATCH Block of Procedure - sql

Question

I have a trigger on a table that executes a stored procedure. The executed stored procedure has a TRY/CATCH, so that if there is an error, a row is inserted into a log table.
When the stored procedure fails, I'm getting the following error:
The current transaction cannot be committed and cannot support operations that write to the log file. Roll back the transaction.
How do I make it so the update get committed and the CATCH in the stored procedure is also executed? If I add:
IF ##TRANCOUNT > 0
ROLLBACK TRAN
to the stored procedure, then I get the following error:
The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted.
Trigger:
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[trigger123] ON [dbo].[tbl321]
AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
IF UPDATE (status)
BEGIN
IF EXISTS (--some condition)
BEGIN
EXEC SProc
END
END
END
SProc:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SProc ]
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #ErrorMessage NVARCHAR(4000);
DECLARE #ErrorSeverity INT;
DECLARE #ErrorState INT;
BEGIN TRY
select #sql = '
declare #error1 varchar(255),
#error2 varchar(255),
#error3 varchar(255)
Exec SomeDB.DBO.ConfirmStatus ''A10594'',#error1 output,#error2 output,#error3 output
if ISNULL(#error1,0) <> 0
begin
set #error1 = ISNULL(#error2,'''') + '' '' + ISNULL(#error3,'''') + '' '' + ISNULL(#error1,0)
RAISERROR (#error1, 16, 1)
end'
from jobs j
exec(#sql) at [linked_server]
update status
set status_prev = 1
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
SELECT
#ErrorMessage = ERROR_MESSAGE(),
#ErrorSeverity = ERROR_SEVERITY(),
#ErrorState = ERROR_STATE()
INSERT INTO error_log (error_datetime, [error_message])
SELECT
GETDATE(),
'Msg: ' + ISNULL(CONVERT(VARCHAR, ERROR_NUMBER()), 'N/A') + ', Level: ' + ISNULL(CONVERT(VARCHAR, #ErrorSeverity), 'N/A') + ', Line: ' + ISNULL(CONVERT(VARCHAR, ERROR_LINE()), 'N/A') + ', Error: ' + ISNULL(#ErrorMessage, 'N/A')
END CATCH
END

I was able to modify my stored procedure to not use a try/catch. This gets me what I need.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SProc ]
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #error table (error1 varchar(255))
DECLARE #ErrorMessage NVARCHAR(4000);
DECLARE #ErrorSeverity INT;
DECLARE #ErrorState INT;
BEGIN TRY
select #sql = '
declare #error1 varchar(255),
#error2 varchar(255),
#error3 varchar(255)
Exec SomeDB.DBO.ConfirmStatus ''A10594'',#error1 output,#error2 output,#error3 output
if ISNULL(#error1,0) <> 0
begin
set #error1 = ISNULL(#error2,'''') + '' '' + ISNULL(#error3,'''') + '' '' + ISNULL(#error1,0)
select #error1
end'
from jobs j
insert into #error
exec(#sql) at [linked_server]
if exists (select top 1 error1 from #error)
begin
INSERT INTO error_log (error_datetime, [error_message])
SELECT
GETDATE(),
(select top 1 error1 from #error)
else
update status
set status_prev = 1
END
