Remove
the 'execute' from your PL/SQL block. it is not needed - in fact - it is causing the error.

<SPAN

class=184225911-11062003>"Execute" is only needed within sqlplus when not using a PL/SQL block. You are using an anonymous PL/SQL block to call your procedure.

Good
Luck!

Here you go... So far I have not gotten it to work... I have tried all suggestions so far.

 Seems to work if I just do it to a variable but once I call in the stored proc. It fails to work.

 Thanks ....

      This does not work when executing my stored procedure:
       
      SQL> var a refcursorSQL> var b varchar2(100);SQL> 
      begin  2     :b :='and sub_account_no=' || 
      '''' || '864240103' || '''';  3     execute 
      :a := pkg_reports_Dynamiccti.fu_sales_analysis('2003-05-21 
      00:00:00','2003-06-02 00:00:00','20','864240103','order by calldate 
      desc',:b);  4  end;  5  /   
      execute :a := 
      pkg_reports_Dynamiccti.fu_sales_analysis('2003-05-2100:00:00','2003-06-02

      desc',:b);           
      *ERROR at line 3:ORA-06550: line 3, column 12:PLS-00103:

      continue.
       
      The package body is defined as:
      CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkg_reports_dynamiccti AS  --
