Answer 1

Two solutions, both raise an error:

1. Call non-existent stored procedure – CALL non_existent_proc()
2. Use SIGNAL statement to raise the error (MySQL 5.5).

Example 1:

...
IF @found THEN
  CALL non_existent_proc();
END IF;
...

Example 2:

...
IF @found THEN
  SIGNAL SQLSTATE '02000' SET MESSAGE_TEXT = 'Wrong data';`
END IF;
