Answer 1

Thank you for the reply.
Steve,
Pardon me if this is an obvious question, but is
SUBMIT_REFRESH_ACTUALS a
PL/SQL function?Yes.
According to what you have posted,
the call spec for
SUBMIT_REFRESH_ACTUALS should be:
function SUBMIT_REFRESH_ACTUALS (PARAM  number)
return number;Is this correct?Yes.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION submit_refresh_actuals
(p_plan_id ASSORTMENT_PLAN.PLAN_ID%TYPE)
RETURN NUMBER
where ASSORTMENT_PLAN.PLAN_ID's type is NUMBER(10).
Have you tried executing the function in
SQL*Plus? For example:
select SUBMIT_REFRESH_ACTUALS(1) from DUALGood Luck,
Avi.The DB guy here is telling me:
I can't because it does DML inside the function, but it works fine inside an anonymous block.
