Sorry to all those who answered my last problem on this matter.
What I wanted to know was why I could only pass variables containing only numbers from a korn shell program. If there were any letters in the variable then this message is displayed.
BEGIN find_record(2, ANI31500300.bad); END;
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 23:
PLS-00201: identifier 'ANI31500300.BAD' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
I know this would work if I had single quotes round the variable but what I neglected to mention was that the korn shell procedure was in a for loop and I can't use the single quote sintax. The code from the shell is below.
sqlplus -s username/password << EOF
exec find_record($rec_no, $file)
EOF
Sorry and thanks in advance.
