Re: Executing a procedure from SQL Plus

I have tried all kinds of ways to execute this. My procedure should return all rows from a table where the LAST_NAME is like the passed parameter. The procedure works fine when called from my VB app. Could you give me the syntax to execute this in SQL Plus window with the declaration of the variables?

Thanks,

David
