Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a way to halt a PL/SQL program to accept a variable from a user? Basically I am looking for a way to do the following in PL/SQL instead of standard SQL shown here:
ACCEPT p_selection PROMPT 'Enter Your Selection: '
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

No it's not possible to do in pl/sql. The accept command is only a sqlplus command. You can use that parameter in anomous pl/sql though.
e.g ACCEPT p_selection char PROMPT 'Enter Your Selection: '
set serveroutput on
begin
dbms_output.put_line('p_selection='||'&p_selection');
my_proc('&p_selection');
end;
/
Use the quotes to avoid the code breaking if p_selection is ever NULL
