Thanks for the try Igor but that doesn't work either

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-06550: line 2, column 24:
PLS-00201: identifier 'CASCADE' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 1, column 99:

Wolfgang's suggestion doesn't work and I have tried every permutation of quotes
(including none at all) around the cacscade keyword as per Raj' suggestion with still
no success.

Thomas's suggestion of using a procedure was my failback position and is probably the way I will have to go. I am still frustrated that I cannot get the syntax to work correctly.
Note I can get my original PL/SQL code to work and put an entry into dbms_jobs but it fails when I try a dbms_job.run

Thanks to everyone anyway.

John

This should work:

declare
l_job number;
begin
dbms_job.submit (l_job,'begin dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(ownname =>' || CHR(39) || 'RPT_2G_MASTER' || CHR(39) || ', estimate_percent => 10, block_sample => FALSE, CASCADE >= TRUE); end;', trunc(sysdate+1)+01/24,'sysdate+7');
end;
/

When passing parameters to stored procedure, you can not mix and match "positional" method with "naming": either you use formal parameters, or not.
It seems like you need "naming".
I used CHR(39) to get quotes around schema name.

Listers,

Looking for a bit of help with the syntax to submit a dbms_stats run via dbms_jobs

The following syntax works fine to run the procedure interactively execute
dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(ownname=>'RPT_3G_MASTER',estimate_percent =>10,cascade=>true);

but trying to get that into an dbms_job is destroying my brain.The syntax I am trying is based around this script

declare
l_job number;
begin
dbms_job.submit
(l_job,'dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(''RPT_2G_MASTER'',10,FALSE,''CASC
ADE>=TRUE'');',
trunc(sysdate+1)+01/24,'sysdate+7');
end;
/

The problem area is the cascade keyword. I am using single quotes in the line but 2 of them around the schema name as that is a varchar2. Ideally I think I want 2 single quotes around the cascade but I cannot get it to work properly. The above example submits the job as Job What

2
dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('RPT_2G_MASTER',10,FALSE,'CASCADE>=TRUE') ;

but that fails to run

Has anybody got any ideas.

I seem to recall Connor McDonald having some information about this on his web site but it doesn't appaer to exist any more

John
