You aren't really using raise error, but to follow what you are doing, try something like:

DECLARE @rows int

set @rows = (select count(progeddid) from progedd_pacid where progeddid is null)

if @rows > 0
  print @rows
else
  print 'none today'

If you truly want to raise an error, see John Barone's message.
