Hello,

I'm new to Oracle8 and can't understand why my code is not working. Any help would be appreciated. TAO.

  1 declare

  2     locator_var BLOB;
  3     amount_var  INTEGER;
  4     offset_var  INTEGER;
  5     output_var  VARCHAR2(10);
  6  begin
  7     amount_var := 10;
  8     offset_var := 1;
  9     select proposal_text into locator_var
 10       from pdnowak.proposal2
 11      where proposal_id = 1;
 12     DBMS_LOB.READ(locator_var, amount_var, offset_var, output_var);
 13     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Start of Proposal text: '|| output_var);

 14* end;
