Skip the DELETE command on logical standby

Question

Hi All,
I want to skip the DELETE command on logical standby.
DB Version - 10.2
OS - Linux
Primary DB and logical standby DB .
In our DB schema some transaction tables. We delete data from those tables by delete commands.
Delete command, also delete data from logical standby DB. But we want to skip on logical standby DB .
I use following for that and get error.
ALTER DATABASE STOP LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY;
EXECUTE DBMS_LOGSTDBY.SKIP (stmt =>'DELETE TABLE', schema_name =>'TEST',object_name =>'TRANS',proc_name => null);
ALTER DATABASE START LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY IMMEDIATE;
But I got error
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'SKIP'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
When I change stmt =>'DELETE TABLE' to stmt =>'DML', no error happen
Please help me to solve this issue . This is urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Dear aditi2,
Actually it is so simple to understand the problem. Please read the following documentation and try to understand the SKIP procedure.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/appdev.101/b10802/d_lsbydb.htm#997290
*SKIP Procedure*
Use the SKIP procedure to define filters that prevent the application of SQL statements on the logical standby database.
By default, all SQL statements executed on a primary database are applied to a logical standby database.
If only a subset of activity on a primary database is of interest for application to the standby database,
you can use the SKIP procedure to define filters that prevent the application of SQL statements on the logical standby database.
While skipping (ignoring) SQL statements is the primary goal of filters,
it is also possible to associate a stored procedure with a DDL filter so that runtime determinations can be made whether to skip the statement,
execute this statement, or execute a replacement statement.
Syntax
DBMS_LOGSTDBY.SKIP (
     stmt                      IN VARCHAR2,
     schema_name               IN VARCHAR2,
     object_name               IN VARCHAR2,
     proc_name                 IN VARCHAR2,
     use_like                  IN BOOLEAN,
     esc                       IN CHAR1);Hope That Helps.
