I have a piece of code that works fine normally. However when I put it to run as a job it does not execute.
How can I find out the reason ? Is there any field in the dictionary that shows the error message ?

Thanks in advance.

This may help:

SQL> SELECT job, to_char(last_date, 'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi') "LAST EXECUTED ON",
  2         failures, broken
  3  FROM   dba_jobs
  4  /

       JOB LAST EXECUTED ON    FAILURES B
---------- ----------------- ---------- -
         1 21-jan-2005 09:38          0 N
         2 16-jan-2005 01:00          0 N
        21 21-jan-2005 09:42          0 N

Best regards.

Thank you very much. But I still have the problem. If the job does not execute where can I look for the error message ? The view DBA_JOB seems not to have a field the shows the error message.

Thanks in advance

Did you check your alert log ?

Errors in jobs are written to the alert log.
This is located on your filesystem (it is not a table, but a file). It's location can be found using
select name,value from v$parameter
where name='background_dump_dest';
