Question

Im a newbie to Oracle and trying to create a new procedure but getting a error,

Error-expression P_EMP_SAL cannot be used as an INTO target of SELECT/FETCH statement..

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE getempsal(
        p_emp_id IN NUMBER,
        p_emp_month IN CHAR,
        p_emp_sal in INTEGER)

AS
BEGIN
    SELECT EMP_SAL
    INTO p_emp_sal
    FROM EMPLOYEE_SAL
    WHERE EMP_ID = p_emp_id
    and EMP_MONTH = p_emp_month;

END getempsal;

Answer 1

You specify IN for a parameter you want to return from a procedure. Try p_emp_sal OUT INTEGER.
