Shaleen/Kirti,

If this is version dependent, then Oracle will brand this a 'feature' rather
than a bug. And I think I know why this is happening.... As per the Concepts
manual, "When you create a stored procedure, Oracle parses the procedure and
stores its parsed representation in the database." I assume that when this
SP is called, the SQL segment is reconstructed by the kernel and it looses
its formatting during this reconstruction, thus creating a different
signature/hash area. 9iR2 may be reconstructing this properly while 8i may
not (as it was the first release for Outlines).

I hope this make sense! Anyone willing to look at and compare the structures
of IDL_UB1$ and IDL_UB2$ and IDL_SB4$ tables (SYS) between the two versions.
(Don't have my hands on 9iR2 yet - I am way behind the times here :(

So WHO is the Reason for the Season?! Write me for details!
