begin
my_schema.SP_READ_MEMBER('11223344', '1970/01/01', res);
EXCEPTION

Result
Error at line 2
ORA-06550: line 2, column 16:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "SYS_REFCURSOR" when expecting one of the following:
:= . ( # % ; not null range default character
The symbol ":=" was substituted for "SYS_REFCURSOR" to continue.
(Original post)
I'm not really good on Oracle's Stored Procedure, so this error confused me much time. Had read 10 more threads on this site about PLS-00103. but none of them seems helped with my error.
Here's my Stored Procedure
create or replace procedure my_schema.SP_READ_MEMBER(keywordP in varchar2, birthdayP in varchar2, resultP out sys_refcursor)
is
v_prg_name varchar2(20) := 'SP_READ_MEMBER';
sys_sql varchar2(1000);
begin
Insertlog(SYSDATE, v_prg_name, '1.0 Start');
sys_sql := sys_sql || 'select a.no, a.name, a.id_no, to_char(a.birthday, ''yyyy/MM/dd'') as birthday, ''REGISTERED'' as type, email, mobile from rep a where 1=1 ';
if keywordP is not null then
sys_sql := sys_sql || ' and (a.no=''' || keywordP || ''' or a.name=''' || keywordP || ''' or a.id_no=''' || keywordP || ''') ';
end if;
if birthdayP is not null then
sys_sql := sys_sql || ' and a.birthday=to_date(''' || birthdayP || ''', ''yyyy/MM/dd'') ';
end if;
open resultP for sys_sql;
Insertlog(SYSDATE, v_prg_name, '2.0 Finished w/o error');
exception
when others then
declare
error_time VARCHAR2(30) := RTRIM(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD, HH24:MI:SS'));
error_code NUMBER := SQLCODE;
error_msg VARCHAR2(300) := SQLERRM;
begin
rollback;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(error_time || ',' || TO_CHAR(error_code) || ',' || error_msg);
Insertlog(SYSDATE, v_prg_name, error_msg || ', 3.0 ERROR, sql:' || sys_sql);
end;
end;
/
And run it in toad, with following script :
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
declare
res varchar2(1000);
begin
call my_schema.SP_READ_MEMBER('11223344', '1970/01/01', res);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('ERROR ' || SQLERRM);
end;
/
This error message really confused me much hours...
Error at line 2
ORA-06550: line 4, column 8:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "my_schema" when expecting one of the following:
:= . ( # % ;
The symbol ":=" was substituted for "my_schema" to continue.
Now I'm stuck here, please gives some suggestions, really need this ...
PS: Got same error message while called from c#

Answer 1

You have ro remove the call; for example:
SQL> begin
2 call testProc;
3 end;
4 /
call testProc;
*
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 10:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "TESTPROC" when expecting one of the
following:
:= . ( # % ;
The symbol ":=" was substituted for "TESTPROC" to continue.
SQL> begin
2 testProc;
3 end;
4 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Also, notice that your procedure has a sys_refcursor out parameter, but you call it by passing a varchar2.
As an aside, using a varchar2 to handle dates is not a good idea; the date type would be better.

Answer 2

As mentioned in the previous answer, There are several mistakes in calling the procedure itself.
Your code to call the procedure should look like the following:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
declare
res SYS_REFCURSOR; -- Changed data type of this variable
begin
my_schema.SP_READ_MEMBER('11223344', '1970/01/01', res); -- removed 'call'
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('ERROR ' || SQLERRM);
end;
