Hello
We have a package with several procedures and functions.
Question is:
Do the procedures/functions get executed in the order they
are placed within the package. We have a procedure that
should execute before another procedure. It is a validation
procedure that is firing after the fact and data validation
is not being caught before insert to table.
thanks in advance

thanks Satish...
so you place the sequence of execution in the
"main" block.
I'm looking at a package written by someone else
and I don't recall seeing a Main section..I'll
go back and take a look.
thanks again..

No, there isn't a "MAIN" section - the example was just using MAIN to refer to the program that calls the procs/functions in the package. You don't control the order to calling in the package - the calling program can execute them in whatever order it wants to.

No. A package is not a single program that is run from top to bottom - it is a library of procedures, functions, definitions etc that are available to be used in whatever way other programs see fit. You need to look at whatever is calling these two procedures in the wrong order.

thanks to all...
ok..I see what your saying...I need to find
the calling procedure or function
that executes the Package in question and look
at the order from there.
