"it", my crystal ball tells me, is an SQL processor, behaving much as
expected when fed what looks like an "if" statement in some other
language ...

Try this exploded version, written using functions in some arbitrary
wrapper language, which you need to translate into whatever language you
are using, supplying missing arguments like a connection and maybe a
cursor, and adding error-checking where appropriate:
exec_sql("BEGIN")
exec_sql("UPDATE stock_tab SET ..... WHERE stock_id = 10000")
if an_error_happened():
exec_sql("INSERT INTO stock_tab SET (...) VALUES (...)")
exec_sql("COMMIT")
