Title: Help with a truncate command in a procedure

I am not a coder but I received this from one of our developers.  I can't find anything about this anywhere.  Can someone tell me how to make the truncate work?

Thanks!

R.Smith

In a DB procedure, I wanted to include the following SQL:
BEGIN
 TRUNCATE TABLE LOT837_GLOBAL_TBL_KMG;
END;

Error messages:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "TABLE" when expecting one of the following:
  := . ( @ % ;
The symbol ":= was inserted before "TABLE" to continue.
(It does not like it, if you take out TABLE, either.)

So, I had to settle for the following SQL:

BEGIN
 DELETE LOT837_GLOBAL_TBL_KMG;
END;

Do you know why I can not use the TRUNCATE command?
