List, Please forgive the repetitious nature of this query, but I haven't yet found an answer that satisfied me.
Environment: AIX 5.1 Oracle 8.1.7 Trying to create an SQL script which calls a procedure to update a record based on information provided by the user via a screen prompt. I know PL/SQL is not interactive by nature. I have tried the ACCEPT command in the .sql script before the procedure call, which is wrapped in a shell script but it doesn't wait for my input, just carries on executing the rest of the .sql script. I am now thoroughly confused about how to do this. And I doubt I am the only one. I do need the user to provide me with a parameter so I can locate the record for update. Don't hesitate to tell me to RTFM or book or website, just tell me WHICH ONE(S) to read :) Thanks much, Saira -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Saira Somani-Mendelin INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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).
