When the above code is executed at the SQL prompt, it produces the following result −
Minimum of (23, 45) : 23

IN & OUT Mode Example 2


This procedure computes the square of value of a passed value. This example shows
how we can use the same parameter to accept a value and then return another result.

DECLARE
a number;
PROCEDURE squareNum(x IN OUT number) IS
BEGIN
x := x * x;
END;
BEGIN
a:= 23;
squareNum(a);
dbms_output.put_line(' Square of (23): ' || a);
END;
/

When the above code is executed at the SQL prompt, it produces the following result −
Square of (23): 529

BEGIN
a:= 23;
b:= 45;
c := findMax(a, b);
dbms_output.put_line(' Maximum of (23,45): ' || c);
