Help in finding the error

Question

Hi All,
I have executed the folloowing scripts
create or replace function aj_dump_csv( p_query in varchar2,
p_separator in varchar2
default ',',
p_dir in varchar2 ,
p_filename in varchar2 )
return number
AUTHID CURRENT_USER
is
l_output utl_file.file_type;
l_theCursor integer default dbms_sql.open_cursor;
l_columnValue varchar2(2000);
l_status integer;
l_colCnt number default 0;
l_separator varchar2(10) default '';
l_cnt number default 0;
begin
l_output := utl_file.fopen( p_dir, p_filename, 'w' );
dbms_sql.parse( l_theCursor, p_query, dbms_sql.native );
for i in 1 .. 255 loop
begin
dbms_sql.define_column( l_theCursor, i,
l_columnValue, 2000 );
l_colCnt := i;
exception
when others then
if ( sqlcode = -1007 ) then exit;
else
raise;
end if;
end;
end loop;
dbms_sql.define_column( l_theCursor, 1, l_columnValue,
2000 );
l_status := dbms_sql.execute(l_theCursor);
loop
exit when ( dbms_sql.fetch_rows(l_theCursor) <= 0 );
l_separator := '';
for i in 1 .. l_colCnt loop
dbms_sql.column_value( l_theCursor, i,
l_columnValue );
utl_file.put( l_output, l_separator ||
l_columnValue );
l_separator := p_separator;
end loop;
utl_file.new_line( l_output );
l_cnt := l_cnt+1;
end loop;
dbms_sql.close_cursor(l_theCursor);
utl_file.fclose( l_output );
return l_cnt;
end dump_csv;
The above script runs successfully
then I run the following script
create or replace procedure aj_test_dump_csv
as
l_rows number;
begin
l_rows := dump_csv( 'select *
from all_users
where rownum < 25',
',', 'C:\Documents and Settings\amit_jaiswal01\My Documents\amit\Stuff\Pl-SQL', 'aj_from_rec.csv' );
end;
I get the error script executed with compile errors
Can anyone help?
Regards.

Run the two scripts seperately.
SQL> create or replace procedure aj_test_dump_csv
as
l_rows number;
begin
l_rows := aj_dump_csv( 'select *
from all_users
where rownum < 25',
',', 'C:\Documents and Settings\amit_jaiswal01\My Documents\amit\Stuff\Pl-SQL', 'aj_from_rec.csv' );
end;
If this gives you any error, then run the below statement to view the error,
SQL>SHOW ERROR
Copy the error message which you get and update us.
