Title: RE: Ok... this is driving me nuts!
i can't really remember the call command in pl/sql.
where do you call it from? if you are in a pl/sql block
you don't need a call but you might want to assign the
return value to a variable! in sql*plus you need to assign
the return
Stefan,
try following in sqlplus ...
set serveroutput on
declare
n_num number;
begin
n_num := raknaupp.fakturanummer;
dbms_out.put_line(to_char(n_num));
end;
/
PS: Tom, this function does a UPDATE and COMMIT, so it can NEVER be used in
DML statement as it violates the purity requirements.
Stefan,
You cannot execute functions in that manner.
You can however, do :
select RAKNAUPP.FAKTURANUMMER from dual;
The problem is that the function is trying to return a value to you. When
you try and CALL it, there is no place for the value to return to.
Hope this helps

The first thing that strikes me is that you seem to be calling a function
like a procedure. Try "v_somenumber := RAKNAUPP.FAKTURANUMMER".
HTH! GL!
