Executing SQLPLUS command from Stored Procedure

Question

Hi,
I am trying to execute the SQLPLUS command (CONNECT) from the stored procedure.
It is throwing below error message.
Stored Procedure:
SQL> select user from dual
2 ;
USER
SYS
SQL> create or replace
2 PROCEDURE PROCEDURE1 AS
3 BEGIN
4 sqlplus sys/sys@D as sysdba;
5 --execute immediate 'create user 'kkk' identified by 'kkk';
6 END PROCEDURE1;
7 /
Warning: Procedure created with compilation errors.
SQL> show err
Errors for PROCEDURE PROCEDURE1:
LINE/COL ERROR
3/9 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "SYS" when expecting one of the
following:
:= . ( @ % ;
The symbol ":=" was substituted for "SYS" to continue.
3/22 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "AS" when expecting one of the
following:
. ( * @ & = - + ; < / > at in is mod remainder not rem
<an exponent (**)> <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or like LIKE2_
LIKE4_ LIKEC_ between || member SUBMULTISET_
The symbol ". was inserted before "AS" to continue.
Please let me know whether it is possible to do or not.
If there is possiblility how can does this be done?

It would not. It will always throw an error. SQLPLUS is a Utility and not a Command/Construct, that it would be available for a Stored Procedure

SYSWhich Database are you onto? Is it DMIP?

However, if you are trying to Create a User in a Different Database, You will first require a DB Link to exist to connect to the Remote Database. You will also require Explicit privileges to create any user (Although I am not sure if you can create User onto a different Database.)
I would like to ask you, why are you creating a User on a Remote database? Can you not execute the same procedure on the Remote database and create User? Also, you are using SYS login to perform the activity. Ideally it should not be allowed. You must create a user and grant DBA rights to perform such activities.
