ora-00902 invalid data type

Hello all -
I have a function that returns a ref cursor.
When I test this function using PL/SQL developer, it works just fine and returns ref cursor with a set of price values for a set of products.
However, when I test the same function from SQL*Plus, it errors out.
select get_price('0123','p1,p2,p3') from dual;
Error at line 1:
ORA-00902: invalid datatype
Could you please help me out. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Can you post your get_price procedure/function?
Try using anonymous pl/sql block simple example,CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getpmnorgrow (empid emp.id%TYPE) RETURN emp%ROWTYPE -- IS result emp%ROWTYPE; BEGIN SELECT * INTO result FROM emp WHERE id = empid; RETURN result; EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN raise_application_error (-20100, 'error'); RETURN NULL; END; / DECLARE retval emp%ROWTYPE; empid NUMBER; BEGIN empid := 1; retval := getpmnorgrow (empid); DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('employee name=' || retval.name); COMMIT; END;Regards -
variable my_cursor refcursor;
exec :my_cursor := get_price('0123','p1,p2,p3');
print :my_cursor -

Hi Tubby,
I get an error msg when I try this. Not sure .. -
Whats the error you are getting?
-
When I try to test it:
select get_price('0123','p1,p2,p3') from dual;
Error at line 1:
ORA-00902: invalid datatype -
select get_price('0123','p1,p2,p3') from dual;Why do you have p1,p2,p3 in quote marks?
Is your function expecting a character string here? Or should they be separate parameters? -
Yes, it is expecting a string of values for the second parameter (set of products).
-
I have no idea what your function does, but try this:
SQL> var results refcursor
SQL> exec :results := get_price('0123','p1,p2,p3');
SQL> print results
