Hi JP,
The problem is the single quotes - try this example (just update your schema name as appropriate etc):
DECLARE
  l_dp_handle      NUMBER;
  l_last_job_state VARCHAR2(30) := 'UNDEFINED';
  l_job_state      VARCHAR2(30) := 'UNDEFINED';
  l_sts            KU$_STATUS;
  v_job_state      varchar2(4000);
BEGIN
  l_dp_handle := DBMS_DATAPUMP.open(operation   => 'EXPORT',
                                    job_mode    => 'SCHEMA',
                                    remote_link => NULL,
                                    version     => 'LATEST');
  DBMS_DATAPUMP.add_file(handle    => l_dp_handle,
                         filename  => 'test.dmp',
                         directory => 'DATA_PUMP_DIR',
                         reusefile => 1);
  DBMS_DATAPUMP.add_file(handle    => l_dp_handle,
                         filename  => 'test.log',
                         directory => 'DATA_PUMP_DIR',
                         filetype  => DBMS_DATAPUMP.KU$_FILE_TYPE_LOG_FILE,
                         reusefile => 1);
  DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_FILTER(l_dp_handle, 'SCHEMA_LIST', '''ALIGNE''');
  DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_FILTER(l_dp_handle,
                                'EXCLUDE_PATH_EXPR',
                                'IN (''INDEX'', ''SYNONYMS'',''GRANTS'',''STATISTICS'')');
  DBMS_DATAPUMP.start_job(l_dp_handle);
  DBMS_DATAPUMP.WAIT_FOR_JOB(l_dp_handle, v_job_state);
  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_job_state);
END;Cheers,
