Oracle Examples:
1. Oracle example of a call from a Stored Procedure:
Add the following to the declaration section of the stored procedure:
v_result integer;
v_return_code varchar2(1);
v_return_msg varchar2(256);
Then add the call to the procedure:
v_result := Ws_Version_Clear(p_sequence, p_job_name, p_task_name, p_job_id, p_task_id
, 90, 5, NULL
, v_return_code, v_return_msg);
Perhaps add a check of the result:
IF ( v_result <> 1 ) THEN
p_status := v_result;
p_return_msg := 'Failed to clear old versions. Return Code was ' || v_return_code;
p_return_msg := p_return_msg || '. ' || v_return_msg;
END IF;
2. Oracle example of a call from sqlplus:
Note: The line beginning exec ... and end with ; must be one line.
Place the following code in a text file called FileName.sql:
set pages 0 feed off heading off
variable res number;
variable rcode varchar2(1);
variable rmsg varchar2(256);
exec :res:=Ws_Version_Clear(1,'Clear Versions','Clear',0,0,90,5,NULL,:rcode,:rmsg);
print :res;
print :rcode;
print :rmsg;
Execute the file from sqlplus (using @FileName). The following out is typical:
