Hi Bob,
You can try this code:
DECLARE
ranon varchar2(16);
BEGIN
select to_char(sysdate, 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS') INTO ranon from dual;
execute immediate 'ALTER DATABASE backup CONTROLFILE to trace as
'''||ranon||'.ctl''';
END;
/
Best Regards

Hi, Im trying to get a variable passed , something is obviously wrong
as every combination I've tried failed.
Any suggestions for this simple syntax ?
set serveroutput on
DECLARE
ranon varchar2(14);
BEGIN
select to_char(sysdate, 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS')INTO ranon from dual;
execute immediate 'ALTER DATABASE backup CONTROLFILE to trace as
'||ranon||'ctl';
-- DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(ranon);
END;
/
