WHAT IS THE FORWARDREFERENCE IN PL/SQL?..

Answer / ranjith

If a stored procedure(Function or Procedure) need to be
called inside another stored procedure in the same package
then the called procedure should be declared before the
calling procedure. This declartion is called Forward
Reference.

Example:

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY pkg_FR_Test
.
.
Begin
prc_FR_Procedure(p_P1 NUMBER, p_P2 VARCHAR2);--> FR
.
.
prc_Call_Procedure(p_Param1 NUMBER)
BEGIN
.
.
prc_FR_Procedure(20, 'Account');
.
.
END prc_FR_Procedure;
END
