Hello everyone i'm having a little trouble on using define command for a hw assignment.
Here is what is needed:
1)Use the DEFINE command to define a variable sal and initialize it to 6000
2)In the declarative section declare two variables: ename of type employees.last_name and emp_sal of type employees.salary. Pass the value of the substitution variables to emp_sal.
Here is what i put in and it doesn't work:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SET VERIFY OFF
DEFINE sal=6000
DECLARE
ename emp.last_name%TYPE;
emp_sal emp.salary%TYPE;
emp_sal = &sal;
BEGIN
END;
Thanks for the help.The assignment operator in PL/SQL is :=, with a colon first.
Change:
emp_sal = &sal;to
emp_sal := &sal;Also, a stand-alone assignment statement like that can not be in the DECLARE section. Put it after BEGIN.
It is allowed to assign a value when you declare a variable, like this:
emp_sal emp.salary%TYPE := &sal;but it is not allowed to have an empty BEGIN section. If you want to assign the value in the DECLARE section, then put something (anyhting, at least for now) in the BEGIN section.
For example:
DECLARE
     ename     emp.last_name%TYPE;
     emp_sal emp.salary%TYPE          := &sal;
BEGIN
     dbms_output.put_line (  TO_CHAR (emp_sal)
                    || ' = emp_sal at start of BEGIN section'
END;
/= (without a colon) is the PL/SQL (and SQL) equality operator . You can use it in constructions like this:
IF  emp_sal = &sal 
THEN
