PL/SQL Trying to execute a very simple procedure












0














I know this is a very stupid question, but I just can't get this to work. I get an error saying that identifier hello must be declared



CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE hello (p_name IN VARCHAR2) 
IS
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line (‘Welcome '|| p_name);
END hello;
/

EXECUTE hello('JOHN');

Everything's fine, except the first single quote in DBMS_OUTPUT call:



SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE hello (p_name IN VARCHAR2)
2 IS
3 BEGIN
4 dbms_output.put_line ('Welcome '|| p_name);
5 END hello; -- ^ change this one
6 /

Procedure created.

SQL> EXECUTE hello('JOHN');
Welcome JOHN

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
