Instead of using DBMS_JOB, I want to pass a parameter to take input for interval of time in hour and to run for a day at ineteval.

Thanks

Read DBMS_JOB and click on "DBMS_JOB complex scheduling".

You're in 9i, so you'll need to use DBMS_JOB instead of DBMS_SCHEDULER, but I am not sure what you wish to achieve with a condition like
while   ( v_end_dt <=   v_begin_dt)


This will run forever or not at all.

[added] Heh, see what happens when you eat lunch while answering questions? Too slow. I see that there were more answers, plus OP added some info into his post.

Perhaps that is what you want, but it doesn't mean that it is the right way to do that. DBMS_JOB (or DBMS_SCHEDULER), on the contrary, is how scheduling should be done.

I need to pass three parameter like in_begin_dt, in_end_dt and
the time interval for which it should execute the insert statement in the loop.
in_interval varchar2 default 'HH'
If I pass interval then it should execute the insert statement within the loop at the interval I am passing for the day ( diff in_begin_dt, in_end_dt)

So exactly why won't you use DBMS_JOB?

The interval may be different as per the paramater passed by user.

INTERVAL is an argument of DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT

if some error occured DBMS_JOB wont execute. Instead of it I want to pass interval say 1 and it should execute the insert statement(it has timestamp interval) after every 1 hour

Since you insist, proceed to do so.
Nobody here can stop you from deploying suboptimal solutions.

v_from_dte + interval '1' hour <= v_to_dte
diff of v_from_dte and v_to_date should always be 1
Is there a way
to make the '1' hour part dynamic



for example
if I pass in_interval_type 'HH' and in_value say 2 it should
pass the value in pl/sql and make it


v_from_dte + interval '2' hour <= v_to_dte


if in_interval_type 'MI' then it should accept 15,30,45,60
and change it to

v_from_dte + interval '15' min <= v_to_dte

It is YOUR code.
You are free to write it to meet your requirements; what ever they might be.

Thank you very much! My question was if I can do it without DBMS_JOB

If you insist on doing it the absolute wrong way, do NOT sit there spinning. See the following procedure.

DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP

Unless you use a (possibly external) scheduler, this mean you have an always active session.
Can you ensure this will be true? What do you want it happens when the instance shut down? Does the work still should be done or not?

An add-on to Michel's message: if "some error" occurs (such as shutdown), your procedure will fail and nothing will resurrect it (i.e. you'll have to do it manually). A scheduled job will run automatically next time it is scheduled, without your intervention.
