How to pass two parameters to sql query

Question

I try to create a sql script to update two columns in one table. I want to set it as parameter. When people execute this sql script, they need to pass parameter into sql query, then query will be executed successfully. The problem is I am only able to pass one parameter. If set two parameters in one line code, it will get ORA-00933 errors. Please advice me where I was wrong. The code is simple and like this:
update MY_TABLE set year = &year AND month = &month where application_type = 'xxxx';
If I only have: update MY_TABLE set year = &year where application_type = 'xxxx'; It works. If I set two parameters to pass value. It will get error.

Hi,
When you UPDATE two or more columns in the same statement, use ',' instead of 'AND' to separate them:
update  MY_TABLE
set     year = &year
,       month = &month
where   application_type = 'xxxx';The correct syntax for all SQL statements, including UPDATE, can be found in the [SQL Language manual|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_10008.htm#sthref9598].
