Hi Marc,
The table "USER_ERRORS" contains details of compilation errors for your procedure.

At the SQL*Plus command prompt you can type

EXECUTE PROCEDURE InsertToBaseball

to run your procedure.

There will be a data dictionary table containing the text of your procedure. However, I don't recall its name.
