Can we give name to a block of code in SP

Question

Greetings
Version- 10G
I have a stored procedure which contain code like
if () then
update---
else if() then
insert --
update---
else if()
end if;
end if;
end if;
I have to use this code numbers of times in my procedure , is there any way I can give name this code & use it or call it where I need it in my SP.
Don't want to make the above code a seperate procedure.
Thanks in advance

Why not make it a separate procedure, it can be private to your package or procedure: e.g.
create procedure main
as
  procedure sub
  as
  begin
    if () then
      update---
    elsif() then
      insert --
      update---
    elsif()
    end if;
  end sub;
begin
  sub;
  sub;
  sub;
end main;
Sub can only be called from within main, but can be called as many times as you want. Otherwise you are looking at labels and gotos, which are almost defnintely wrong.
