Good suggestion... About the only problem is that if I try to select on the package.function name, I get an error stating that I'm not allowed to perform DML on a select statement.
Ad the problem with declaring a variable such as: declare x number; begin x := raknaupp.fakturanummer; end; Well, the application (written in FoxPro) that tries to use the statement goes gaga on it and doesn't recieve a value from the statement apart from the fact that the SQL-statement succeded.. This is giving me grey(er) hair! :) Oh well, thanks for the suggestions guys... I think I have to rethink the entire thing :) /Stefan > -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- > Från: Mercadante, Thomas F > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Skickat: den 13 februari 2002 15:58 > Till: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > Ämne: RE: Ok... this is driving me nuts! > > > 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.
