Procedure are supposed to work with input/output parameters.

Read user input in sqlplus (which is what you are trying to do) and then call the procedure in the same script.

Hi Listers,

I'm about writing a code to prompt user to enter some data and the code do some verification and subsequently prompt him for further information. Basically the pseudocode looks like the following:

define a = Y ;
define b = N;
define c = 10;

accept a prompt 'Enter value of a: ';

BEGIN
IF('&&a' = 'Y')
THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Enter value of c :');   ACCEPT c;
  IF &&c = 10 THEN

• do some staff END IF; ELSIF('&&a' = 'N') THEN
  • do other treatment END IF; END; /

The problem the ACCEPT nor PROMPT doesn't work inside the
PL/SQL code. Do you have any suggestion to do the code interact with user?

Thank you in advance.

Ben
