I have a function and a procedure that I am trying to combine into a package. The function, procedure and package spec all compile. However, the package body is giving me the following errors and I can't figure out why since I am fairly new to this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated in understanding what I am doing incorrectly.

ERRORS:

Errors for PACKAGE BODY SALARY:

LINE/COL ERROR
-------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
20/1 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "AS" when expecting one of the
following:
begin end function package pragma procedure form

27/1 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "END"


PACKAGE SPEC:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE salary
AS
 PROCEDURE new_emp (namein VARCHAR2, statein CHAR,
                    deptin NUMBER);
END salary;
/


PACKAGE BODY
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY salary
AS
FUNCTION avg_emp1
RETURN NUMBER
AS
 avg_sal   NUMBER DEFAULT 0;
 min_sal   NUMBER DEFAULT 0;
 sum_sal   NUMBER DEFAULT 0;
 num_sal   NUMBER DEFAULT 0;
BEGIN
 SELECT SUM(e.salary) INTO sum_sal FROM Emp2 e;
 SELECT MIN(e.salary) INTO min_sal FROM Emp2 e;
 SELECT COUNT(e.salary) INTO num_sal FROM Emp2 e;
 avg_sal := (sum_sal - min_sal) / (num_sal - 1);
 RETURN (avg_sal);
END avg_emp1;

PROCEDURE new_emp
 (namein VARCHAR2, statein CHAR, deptin NUMBER);
AS
 new_salary   NUMBER DEFAULT 0;
BEGIN
 new_salary := avg_emp1 - (avg_emp1 * 0.15);
 INSERT INTO Emp2 VALUES(namein, statein, new_salary, deptin);
END new_emp;

END salary;
/

Are we suppose to add line numbers manually or something? I didn't find anything about the line numbers so far in the Posting Guidelines.

The semicolon, ";" at the end of the line before the "as" should not be there.

Thanks! That was it. Just goes to show it helps to have a fresh pair of eyes. I guess I added the semicolon when I transposed the procedure to the package. The procedure worked but not the package version. Guess I should have copied and pasted instead.

Thanks again I have struggled with that for 3 days. Would be nice if the error messages would tell you that a extra semicolon was added. Shocked

It can't as a semicolon at this place can be a valid syntax depending on other things.
So the first error for it is "AS" as what is before is correct.
