DEFINE in TOAD vs SQLPLUS [message #18059] Tue, 08 February 2005 13:32 Go to next message

hi

my code looks like this

DEFINE p_ann_sal= 6000;
DECLARE
v_sal NUMBER (9,2) := &p_annual_sal;
BEGIN
v_sal := v_sal/12;

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (TO_CHAR(V_SAL));
END;

When I run it using sqlplus its working fine, asking for the input variable at runtime and works well
But I'm unable to enter the input value at runtime in TOAD. I'm using the SQL window of TOAD to run the code.

Thanks
rishank.

&p_annual_sal is a SQL*Plus substitution variable and therefore only works from SQL*Plus or something that runs SQL*Plus, so it won't work if Toad is just running SQL, not SQL*Plus.

I guess it depends on your version/settings. You can let TOAD scan for bind variables.

If you execute your program as a script (F5) instead of hitting F9 (run), a lot of SQL*Plus commands are supported, including DEF(INE)
