Hello,

In the below mention code snippet, I intend to return email id for a user back to the calling KSH file.

SET LINESIZE 500
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 1000000
SET TRIMSPOOL on
SET HEAD ON
SET PAGESIZE 0
SET TERMOUT ON
SET VERIFY OFF

VARIABLE return_val VARCHAR2(100);

BEGIN
SELECT email_id
INTO :return_val
FROM table_name
WHERE name= '&1' ;

EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
:return_val := 'ERR';
END;
/

EXIT :return_val;


I am getting below mentioned error in doing so.

Usage: { EXIT | QUIT } [ SUCCESS | FAILURE | WARNING | n |
<variable> | :<bindvariable> ] [ COMMIT | ROLLBACK ]

Can anyone please guide me on whats wrong with the above implementation? Is it not possible to send a VARCHAR2 back to calling KSH?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I am getting the error in SQL prompt and not UNIX.

I get the below mentioned error
"SP2-0670: Internal number conversion failed"

So my question is, Can we return a VARCHAR back to unix with the EXIT <:bindvariable> command

EXIT.

Variable should be NUMBER, not CHARACTER:
SQL> var return_val number;
SQL> begin
  2    select empno into :return_val
  3    from emp
  4    where ename = 'KING';
  5  end;
  6  /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> print return_val;

RETURN_VAL
----------
      7839

SQL> exit :return_val
