execute stored procedure

[Pieter_5]

Hi,

I just created a stored procedure which looks like this
myprocedure(inputvar In number , outputvar out varchar2)

I want to test this procedure with sqlplus. I tried it like like this;

var testvar varchar2(10);
exec myprocedure(333,testvar);

I get the message testvar not declared!!

How do I test this stored procedure correctly?

[Brian Crabtree]

I prefer to use plsql to do this:

set serveroutput on
declare
testvar varchar2(10);
begin
execute myprocedure('333',testvar);
dbms_output.put_line('Testvar '||testvar);
end;
/

Thanks,

Brian

variable testvar varchar2(10);

to verify the value returned use:
select :testvar from dual;
