DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE problem.

[Vidya]

Hi,
I am trying to execute my newly created 'Login' stored procedure.
For some reasons I get error on dbms_outout.put_line line code. Can
someone look into the block below and tell me what the problem
is...? Below is the version, code and error msg. Any help is
greatly appreciated.

You've placed the DBMS_OUTUT code AFTER the end; for the block. It
should be before:

declare
iid number;
PRSS number;
RETMES varchar2(200);
begin
WEB_GMX_MANAGEMENT.Login(
'vms',
'4111',
iid,
PRSS,
RETMES);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(iid);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(PRSS);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(RETMES);
end;

btw this is one of the advantages of formatting your code - this type
of thing would leap out at you. It's much harder to spot in a random
jumble.

And it's pretty easy, there are even formatters on the web that work
well for small amounts of code:
