Question

I am running a script in sql plus, I have a for loop in my script:

BEGIN
  FOR count IN 1..100 LOOP
    INSERT INTO CompanyShare VALUES (count, 1, 250);
  END LOOP;
END;

BEGIN
  FOR count IN 101..200 LOOP
    INSERT INTO CompanyShare VALUES (count, 2, 50);
  END LOOP;
END;

When I run the script this error came up:

ORA-06550: line 6, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol “BEGIN”

Where am I going wrong?

Answer 1

Try to add / after end; as below:

BEGIN
  FOR count IN 1..100 LOOP
    INSERT INTO CompanyShare VALUES (count, 1, 250);
  END LOOP;
END;
/ --<-- Here
BEGIN
  FOR count IN 101..200 LOOP
    INSERT INTO CompanyShare VALUES (count, 2, 50);
  END LOOP;
END;
