Basic Oracle Concepts and Programming Question:

A sub procedure is a named procedure defined and used inside another procedure or function. You need to define a sub procedure in the declaration part of the enclosing procedure or function. Sub procedure definition starts with the PROCEDURE key word. Here is a sample script showing you how to define and use a sub procedure:

SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE HR.DBA_WEEK AS
2 PROCEDURE DBA_TASK (day VARCHAR2) AS
3 BEGIN
4 IF day = 'MONDAY' THEN
5 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Checking log files.');
6 ELSIF day = 'FRIDAY' THEN
7 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Rebuild indexes.');
8 ELSE
9 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Reading some papers.');
10 END IF;
11 END;
12 BEGIN
13 DBA_TASK('MONDAY');
14 DBA_TASK('TUESDAY');
15 END;

SQL> EXECUTE DBA_WEEK;
