Hello,

I am currently running Personal Oracle 8 on my Windows 98 PC. I have tried running
this statement encountering errors.

SQL> begin
2 accept lastname char Prompt 'Enter : '; 3 end;
4 /
accept lastname char Prompt 'Enter : ';

*
ERROR at line 2:

ORA-06550: line 2, column 9:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "LASTNAME" when expecting one of the
following: := . ( @ % ;

Why is this so ?

Thanks in advance ! Received on Thu Apr 06 2000 - 01:20:06 CDT
