Calling PL/SQL code from Select statement

Question

Hi
I have a PL/SQL function to calculate a value.
create or replace procedure "SR_GROSS_MARGIN"
(netsales IN NUMBER,
margin IN NUMBER,
GM OUT NUMBER)
is
BEGIN
    IF NETSALES = 0 THEN
       GM := 0;
    ELSIF
       NETSALES < 0 THEN
       GM := 0;
    ELSE
       GM := NETSALES / MARGIN;
    END IF;
END;How do I call this from a SELECT statement?
Regards
Adam

Answer 1

here you go:
create or replace function SR_GROSS_MARGIN
(netsales IN NUMBER,
margin IN NUMBER)
return number
is
gm number;
BEGIN
    IF NETSALES = 0 THEN
       GM := 0;
    ELSIF
       NETSALES < 0 THEN
       GM := 0;
    ELSE
       GM := NETSALES / MARGIN;
    END IF;
return gm;
END;then you can:
select gm(2500,20) from dual;
