PL/SQL Commit Issue

Question

I have the following code:

BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.DROP_JOB (
job_name => 'MYJOB');
END;

COMMIT;

I get the following error message:

Error report: ORA-06550: line 6, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "COMMIT" 06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s" *Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error. *Action:

What is the problem with the syntax I am using for committing?

Answer 1

It should be first commit and then end like below

BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.DROP_JOB (
job_name => 'MYJOB');
COMMIT;
END;

That's how Oracle documentation specify. If you are saying commit then end should go last. else just make it like

BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.DROP_JOB (
job_name => 'MYJOB');    
END;
