Answer / abhishekjaiswal

DECLARE
FUNCTION my_func RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
RETURN 2;
END my_func;

PROCEDURE my_proc IS
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(my_func + 1);
END my_proc;

BEGIN -- main
my_proc;
END; -- main
As shown above, with the function declared first you can call the function from the procedure. However, if you try something like the following (function declared before procedure, and function calls procedure):

DECLARE
FUNCTION my_func RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
my_proc;
RETURN 2;
END my_func;

PROCEDURE my_proc IS
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('22');
END my_proc;

BEGIN -- main
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(my_func);
END; -- main
the compile will fail, because my_func cannot 'see' my_proc. To make it work you need to put in a 'prototype' declaration of my_proc, as follows:

DECLARE
PROCEDURE my_proc;

FUNCTION my_func RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
my_proc;
RETURN 2;
END my_func;

PROCEDURE my_proc IS
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('22');
END my_proc;

BEGIN -- main
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(my_func);
END; -- main
