Dear Friends,

I created a package karthik but got an error.

create or replace package karthik as
procedure karthikperumal(a number);
end;
create or replace package body karthik as
procedure karthikperumal(a varchar) is
begin
dbms_output.put_line('Hi!'|| a ||' This is my package...');
end;
end karthik;
/
show errors;

The error shown is listed below:

Warning: Package created with compilation errors.
Errors for PACKAGE KARTHIK: 
LINE/COL 	ERROR 
4/1 	PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "CREATE" 

I am using Oracle 9i version. Please help.

Regards,
Karthik
