PL/SQL call to procedure

Question

I wrote a PL/SQL procedure to update the salary of the table Employee

create table Employee
(ID                 VARCHAR2(4 BYTE)         NOT NULL,
First_Name         VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
   Last_Name          VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
   Start_Date         DATE,
   End_Date           DATE,
    Salary             Number(8,2),
   City               VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
    Description        VARCHAR2(15 BYTE)
)
 /

And this is the procedure

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE update_employee_salary(
   p_factor IN NUMBER
    ) AS
    v_employee_count INTEGER;
    BEGIN
        UPDATE employee
       SET salary = salary * p_factor;
       COMMIT;
    EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
       ROLLBACK;
   END update_employee_salary;
   /

When I try to call the procedure

CALL update_employee_salary (1.5)

oracle displays ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement

Answer 1

It is incorrect way of calling procedure. You can use the below method :

    Begin
    update_employee_salary(1.5);
    End;
