Hi,

I am receiving compilation errors when I am trying to compile a package body, but for the life of me I can figure out why!

Can anybody help? Its driving me insane!!

--============================================
--= PACKAGE BODY
--============================================
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY student_manager
AS

PROCEDURE insert_student
(i_SALUTATION IN VARCHAR2,
i_first_name IN VARCHAR2,
i_last_name IN VARCHAR2,
i_STREET_ADDRESS IN VARCHAR2,
i_ZIP IN VARCHAR2,
i_PHONE IN VARCHAR2,
i_EMPLOYER IN vARcHAR2,
i_REGISTRATION_DATE IN DATE);
IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO student VALUES
(get_new_student_id,
i_SALUTATION,
i_first_name,
i_last_name,
i_STREET_ADDRESS,
i_ZIP,
i_PHONE,
i_EMPLOYER,
i_REGISTRATION_DATE,
user,
sysdate,
user,
sysdate);
END insert_student;


--============================================

PROCEDURE delete_student
(i_student_id IN student.student_id%TYPE)
IS
BEGIN
DELETE FROM student
WHERE student.student_id = i_student_id;

END delete_student;

--============================================

FUNCTION get_new_student_id

RETURN NUMBER
IS
v_seq_id student.student_id%TYPE;

BEGIN
SELECT student_id_seq.nextval
INTO v_seq_id
FROM dual;
RETURN v_seq_id;

END get_new_student_id;

END student_manager;
.

There a just a couple of things I noticed, which you can try fixing-

1. Your statement- CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY student_manager
AS
should read as-
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY student_manager is

2. You have a semicolon in the procedure insert_student before 'IS'
( i_REGISTRATION_DATE IN DATE)
remove this semicolon and try.

Hi,

You need to put a forward slash '/' at the end of the package specification. The slash needs to be on a line by itself after the last "end;" in the package specification.
