I have the following SQL Procedure code:
create or replace procedure numOfSupplier(X IN NUMBER)IS
OUTPUT VARCHAR(500);
BEGIN
FOR supplerTable IN (SELECT R_NAME, N_NAME
FROM SUPPLIER join NATION on S_NATIONKEY = N_NATIONKEY
join REGION on N_REGIONKEY = R_REGIONKEY
GROUP BY R_NAME, N_NAME
HAVING COUNT (S_NATIONKEY) > X)
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (supplerTable.R_NAME || supplerTable.N_NAME);
END LOOP;
END numOfSupplier;
/
When ran, gives me: https://i.imgur.com/zEEKpya.png
I'm trying to have this show: https://i.sstatic.net/OLXPF.png
Any idea how to print the header out?
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE seems limited
Thanks in advance!
PS, I tried having a DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE before the loop but it errored out:
12/1 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "DBMS_OUTPUT" when expecting one of the following: loop The symbol "loop" was substituted for "DBMS_OUTPUT" to continue.
20/5 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "NUMOFSUPPLIER" when expecting one of the following: loop
Error when trying:

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('HELLO');
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (supplerTable.R_NAME || supplerTable.N_NAME);
END LOOP;
END numOfSupplier;

You cannot put the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE
in the middle of the loop's header. You have to put it completely before the loop.
...
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('<The header goes here>');
FOR supplerTable IN (...) LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (supplerTable.R_NAME || supplerTable.N_NAME);
END LOOP;
