Maryann,
Your "accept" appears to be incomplete.

Here's one I pulled from a script:

accept WhichOwner char prompt "Owner Name   - "

The variable needs a type.

        Subject:        plsql prompt for input


I am trying to write a pl/sql script that will prompt the user for an id,
and then somehow I need to re-prompt the user to verify that indeed
this is the correct id.

The one below seems like it should work, except because of buffer issue(I 
guess)
I dont get to see the line that prompts the user if its correct.
Anyone has an idea how it can be improved?

thx
maa


SET VERIFY OFF
ACCEPT Emp_ID Prompt 'Please Enter the Employee ID > '

DECLARE
    Response    VARCHAR2(1);

BEGIN

     DBMS_Output.Put_Line('Employee ID entered is ' || &Emp_ID
                        || '. Is this correct?(Y/N)');

     Response := &&Response;
     DBMS_Output.Put_Line('Response is ' || Response);
END;
/
