I'll take a crack at this as I've seen no replies to the list so far.

The syntax is:

create or replace procedure a
as

    jobnum dba_jobs.job%TYPE;
    CURSOR c1 is
 SELECT job from dba_jobs;
BEGIN
    OPEN c1;
    LOOP -- process each row one at a time

     FETCH c1 INTO jobnum;
     EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;


            -- the c1%NOTFOUND condition evaluates

            -- to TRUE when FETCH finds no more rows

     /* run the job */
     DBMS_JOB.RUN (jobnum);

    END LOOP;
    CLOSE c1;
    COMMIT;
END;
/

Which works for on my test db when run as SYS. When run as anybody else it fails because DBA_JOBS is not explicitly granted to other DBAs but is granted via the DBA role (I think). This is a common bug bear between anonymous PL/SQL and procedures - PL/SQL can accept object privs granted via roles, procedures cannot. I guess the easy solution is to explicitly grant SELECT on DBA_JOBS to whoever.

I'm not so hot with the programming concepts, so does someone mind explaining to me what I have to chnage in order to make thie following plsql block into a stroed proc? I believe it's the DECLARE statement that is wrong. I thought I could just add the following at the beginning: CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE runjobs_proc AS

DECLARE
    jobnum dba_jobs.job%TYPE;
    CURSOR c1 is

        SELECT job from dba_jobs;
BEGIN
    OPEN c1;

    LOOP	  -- process each row one at a time
    	FETCH c1 INTO jobnum;
    	EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;


            -- the c1%NOTFOUND condition evaluates

            -- to TRUE when FETCH finds no more rows

    	/* run the job */
    	DBMS_JOB.RUN (jobnum);

    END LOOP;
    CLOSE c1;
    COMMIT;
END;
/

thanks
K
