Use function which returns clob in proceudre

Question

Hello,
I need some help with a function call i am using.
I have a SYSMAN function which i like to call in procedure.
The output from the function is a CLOB.
Executing the statement in SqlPlus returns 2 lines of data, but written into a procedure returns in an error.
The procedure looks like this:
     CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE large_val as
     cSql_text          CLOB;
     sSql_stmt           varchar2(200);
     job_id          varchar2(80);
     exec_id          varchar2(80);
     parm          varchar2(50);
     begin
     job_id := '82A11DD897876D29E0400A0A8A1051A7';
     exec_id := '0000000000000000';
     parm := 'large_sql_script';
     sSql_stmt := 'SELECT SYSMAN.MGMT_JOBS.get_large_param(' || ''''||job_id||'''' ||',' ||''''||exec_id||''''||','||''''||parm|| '''' || ') FROM DUAL;';
     dbms_output.put_line(sSql_stmt);
     execute immediate sSql_stmt into cSql_text;
     END large_val;
The output from dbms_output i am able to run a statement in SqlPlus without error:
     SELECT SYSMAN.MGMT_JOBS.get_large_param('82A11DD897876D29E0400A0A8A1051A7','0000000000000000','large_sql_script') FROM DUAL ;
and it returns 2 lines.
Running it as a procecure show's an error i don't understand.
exec large_val;
BEGIN large_val; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00911: invalid character
ORA-06512: at "SCHEMTS.LARGE_VAL", line 23
ORA-06512: at line 1
Hope anyone can help me.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Ben

you cannot use CLob with select query.Yes you can. At least since 10gR1, but possibly in earlier versions too.
@OP:
Why aren't you using bind variables? And why are you using dynamic sql at all?
You could just do
  cSql_text := SYSMAN.MGMT_JOBS.get_large_param(job_id, exec_id, parm);
