Trying to compile a function

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to compile a function using Oracle Enterprise Manager but I can't. It's possible to do it? If so, how? Or if it's no possible, how can I do it?
I created the function with Enterprise Manager and was OK. But now the problem is to execute the function if it's correctly compiled.
Thanks.

You should use paranthesis for your function if you have parameters.
