Submitting Job with parameterised procedure using DBMS_JOB

Question

Hi,
I need to submit a job which makes a call to a procedure with parameters as shown below:
PROCDURE SUB_JOB ( P_PAR1 VARCHAR2, P_PAR2 VARCHAR2)
IS
L_JOBID INTEGER;
BEGIN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT ( L_JOBID, ' BEGIN PROC1 ('''||P_PAR1||''','''||P_PAR2||'''); END;' );
COMMIT;
END;
But when I execute the above procedure I get the error like below:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol ")" when expecting one of the following: ( - + case mod new not null others <an identifier> avg count current exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance execute forall merge time timestamp interval date pipe <an alternatively-quoted string literal with character set specification> <an alternatively-q
I checked many examples but all are with hard coded values. In this I will know the values of parameters to PROC1 only at run time.
Is there any other way of doing this. I'm using Oracle 10g. Please advise.
Thanks. Pat

Works for me...
SQL>create or replace procedure p(p_par1 number, p_par2 number)
  2  as
  3  begin
  4    null;
  5  end;
  6  /
Procedure created.
SQL>declare
  2      p_par1 number;
  3      p_par2 number;
  4      L_JOBID INTEGER;
  5  begin
  6      DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT ( L_JOBID, ' BEGIN P ('''||P_PAR1||''','''||P_PAR2||'''); END;');
  7  end;
  8  /
