Oracle Store procedure Docu. Ex throws error ?!!!!

Question

The following are the Oracle Docu. Contents on Store Procedures.
I could create same Function and added the same java codes to a JSP but it throws error as
java.sql.SQLException: Malformed SQL92 string at position: 5. Expecting "call"
Code is as follows
JDBC and SQLJ allow you to call PL/SQL stored functions and procedures. For example, suppose you want to call the following stored function, which returns the balance of a specified bank account:
FUNCTION balance (acct_id NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
acct_bal NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT bal INTO acct_bal FROM accts
WHERE acct_no = acct_id;
RETURN acct_bal;
END;
From a JDBC program, your call to the function balance might look like this:
CallableStatement cstmt = conn.prepareCall("{? = CALL balance(?)}");
cstmt.registerOutParameter(1, Types.FLOAT);
cstmt.setInt(2, acctNo);
cstmt.executeUpdate();
float acctBal = cstmt.getFloat(1);
Can any one Advise

Answer 1

change line
CallableStatement cstmt = conn.prepareCall("{? = CALL
balance(?)}");
to
CallableStatement cstmt = conn.prepareCall("{? = call
balance(?)}");
i.e. lowercase 'call'
hope it solves
