im trying to create 2 package body's in plsql. This is my code:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE p_locations
AS
FUNCTION f_distance(Lat1 IN NUMBER, Lon1 IN NUMBER, Lat2 IN NUMBER, Lon2 IN NUMBER, Radius IN NUMBER DEFAULT 6387.7) return number;
END p_locations;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY p_locations
AS
FUNCTION f_distance (Lat1 IN NUMBER, Lon1 IN NUMBER, Lat2 IN NUMBER, Lon2 IN NUMBER, Radius IN NUMBER DEFAULT 6387.7)
RETURN NUMBER
IS
-- Convert degrees to radians
DegToRad NUMBER := 57.29577951;
BEGIN
RETURN(NVL(Radius,0) * ACOS((sin(NVL(Lat1,0) / DegToRad) * SIN(NVL(Lat2,0) / DegToRad)) +
(COS(NVL(Lat1,0) / DegToRad) * COS(NVL(Lat2,0) / DegToRad) *
COS(NVL(Lon2,0) / DegToRad - NVL(Lon1,0)/ DegToRad))));
END f_distance;
END p_locations;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE p_winkel
AS
FUNCTION changeOpeningstijd("id" IN number) RETURN boolean;
END p_winkel;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY p_winkel
AS
FUNCTION changeOpeningstijd("id" IN number)
RETURN boolean
IS
dbms_output.put_line('dit is uitgevoerd');
return true;
END changeOpeningstijd;
END p_winkel;
When I run this I gat 3 times a PLS-00103 error. The first is on line 6,16 and says encountered the symbol "." when expecting one of the following: constant exception <an identifier> <a double-quoted delimited-identifier> table long double ref char time timestamp interval date binary national character nchar The symbol "<an identifier>" was substituted for "." to continue.
The strange thing is that when I comment out the 2nd package body everything works fine. Whilst the errors are at the beginning of the first package definition.
Am I doing something stupid wrong here, or can't you create two packages in one session, or what else is going on here, because I don't see any logic in these errors.
You're just missing the BEGIN keyword:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY p_winkel
AS
FUNCTION changeOpeningstijd("id" IN number)
RETURN boolean
IS
BEGIN ---- this was missing
dbms_output.put_line('dit is uitgevoerd');
return true;
END changeOpeningstijd;
END p_winkel;

The line number in the PL/SQL error refers to the PL/SQL block (package, in this case) it is caused by; it isn't the line number in your combined script, as would be the case for a plain SQL error.
When you run this with run script you get three errors reported, not just the one you referred to; and the other two both mention begin:
Errors: check compiler log
6/16 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "." when expecting one of the following:
constant exception <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> table long double ref
char time timestamp interval date binary national character
nchar
The symbol "<an identifier>" was substituted for "." to continue.
8/3 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "END" when expecting one of the following:
begin function pragma procedure subtype type <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> current cursor delete
exists prior
The symbol "begin was inserted before "END" to continue.
9/13 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting one of the following:
begin end function pragma procedure
As Ben mentioned it's a good idea to add a show errors after each spec/body definition to highlight where an error is seen; but you can also query the user_errors view to see the errors related to each invalid object.
