Why is not working whis :
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TABLE_UPDATE
IS
duplicate_info  EXCEPTION;
PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT (duplicate_info, -00001);
loop...
  begin
    insert stm...
EXCEPTION
         WHEN duplicate_info THEN
           UPDATE MYTABLE SET
        "REGDATE" = rec.REGDATE,
        "ORIGIN" = rec.ORIGIN
// My constraint
        WHERE "DOMAIN" = rec.DOMAIN
        AND "USERNAME" = rec.USERNAME ;
    END LOOP;
END;

Its looks like syntax error - im not an expert doing this :)

In your code you've not the proper structure for a PL/SQL block (you are missing and END statement).  Should be as below.  Also, you don't need to define you're own exception, ORA-00001 is already defined for you in PL/SQL (in the SYS.STANDARD package) as DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX.  So the following should work ...

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TABLE_UPDATE 
IS 
  LOOP ...
    BEGIN
      insert stm...
    EXCEPTION
      WHEN DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX THEN
        UPDATE MYTABLE SET
        REGDATE = rec.REGDATE,
        ORIGIN = rec.ORIGIN
        WHERE DOMAIN = rec.DOMAIN
          AND USERNAME = rec.USERNAME ;    
    END;
  END LOOP;
END;
