It should. But it you only want to handle it in the calling method that should happen automatically without needing to specifically CATCH and THROW.. Where does the execution path in your code vary from this:

SET STEP ON
=completewhere();

FUNCTION completewhere()
TRY
  retParm()
CATCH TO loError
  =MESSAGEBOX("retParm() Caught")
ENDTRY
TRY
  retParm2()
CATCH
  =MESSAGEBOX("retParm2() Caught")
ENDTRY
ENDFUNC

FUNCTION retParm()
TRY
  ERROR 1
CATCH TO loError
  MESSAGEBOX("Catch in retParm()")
  THROW loError
ENDTRY
ENDFUNC

FUNCTION retParm2()
ERROR 1
ENDFUNC
