I started to get the feeling that since no one had the answer to my question, maybe I was asking the wrong question.
Thanks to those who replied. You helped me figure out where I made a few wrong assumptions. I don't mess with procedures and functions much. A book I was using as a reference got me real confused with some examples that are clearly wrong -- procedures with return types specified. My procedure was using dbms_output.put_line to "return" a value, but that isn't really a return. It isn't surprising to me now that the Sitescope monitor couldn't deal with it. I'm using a function now and it is working. -Chris >Chris > >You wrote "I just want to call it and get the one value it returns." >I think that procedure does not return values, functions does. >If you want to get value from a procedure you have to pass >a parameter that the procedure will return the value in. > >Yechiel Adar >Mehish _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Chris McGrail INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
