PL/SQL supports overloading. You can have two identical procedure names provided their parameter profile is different. For example you can code put(name in number); and put(name in varchar2); in the same package. The "formal parameter" names are different in the body and the spec. Oracle thinks tiy have coded a procedure body without a prototype (which is ok) but that the procedure in the spec has no body.  

Hope this helps.
