To execute a block of code

Question

Dear buddies,
I have a few lines of code which looks like this.
declare
t_Count          number := 0;
t_CommitPoint      number := 100;
t_ObjectDefID      number;
t_ObjectID        number;
cursor c_Trees is
select  Treeid,
Treetype,
  decode(upper(Continent),'AF','Africa',
                  'AN','Antarctica',
                  'AS','Asia',
          'AU','Australia',
                  'EU','Europe',
                  'NA','North America',
                  'SA','South America',
                  'Unknown') Continent,
  Climate
from     conversion.v_Trees;
begin
t_ObjectDefID := api.pkg_ObjectDefQuery.IdForName('Trees');
api.pkg_LogicalTransactionUpdate.ResetTransaction();
api.pkg_LogicalTransactionUpdate.StartTransaction();
.ORA-06550: line 23, column 18:
PLS-00201: identifier 'API.PKG_OBJECTDEFQUERY' must be declared
and a few errors like this.
How should I declare this api?
How should I execute this block? Please guide me.
Thanking in advance.

Answer 1

How are you using API package in pl/sql block then?
Check whether it exists or not??
As per the error, API package must exist in the schema but not in the Declare section..........syntax for creating objects does not require DECLARE section !!
Declare the API package in schema. and compile again.....if any issue comes, paste your procedure code here.
