RE: Examples of dbms_job.submit intervals and arguments

Yes, thanks that's helpful but....

Here is a job, Im trying to simply call some sql but apparently I cant pass sql as an argument. Or my string variables in the sql are double single quotes?? Im not sure if they should be double single quotes or just double quotes

Should this work?? It submits fine but if I execute it I get the following

LOCDB SQL> execute dbms_job.run(71);
BEGIN dbms_job.run(71); END;

*
ERROR at line 1:

ORA-12011: execution of 1 jobs failed
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_IJOB", line 394
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_JOB", line 267
ORA-06512: at line 1
#########################################

variable jobno number;
variable instno number;
begin
  select instance_number into :instno from v$instance;   dbms_job.submit
(:jobno, 'UPDATE TIME SET STATUS = ''O'' WHERE STATUS = ''I'' ;', trunc(sysdate+1),
'trunc(SYSDATE+1)',
TRUE, :instno);
  commit;
end;

Also, Im not sure how to create a simple stored procedure wich simply contains the above sql.

Any help would be graciously accepted...

Thanks
Bob
