It's just a warning though -- not an error; although, in your subject you call it an error. If it is right or wrong, doesn't matter. If you're happy with your code then forge ahead. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of William Wagman Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 4:05 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: PL/SQL error? Greetings, Running Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 EE on RHEL4 on a two node RAC cluster we get the error below on compiling the included PL/SQL trigger with SQL Developer the database. I can't for the life of me see where/why the code is 'unreachable' (see the **, that is where the error is reported). We also tried a number of things such as placing the complex IF on line line, etc.--no dice. Can someone help me out here. Thanks.
