ORA-31603:While Extracting SQL of a table I am getting this error.

Question

Hi,
I am getting below error whenever I try to get the SQL for any table. I tried executing DBMS_METADATA() also but the same error is coming.
Please let me know what needs to be done IF I want to extract the DDL for any object.
ORA-31603: object "EMP" of type TABLE not found in schema "MKT"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 3241
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4812
ORA-06512: at line 1
Thanks,
Rusty....

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xx_get_ddl(

, p_owner IN VARCHAR2
RETURN CLOB AUTHID CURRENT_USER

SELECT DBMS_METADATA.get_ddl(p_object_type
, p_object_name
