Bad bind variable error in store procedure - PL/SQL - Oracle












0















CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE demoStoreProc
(
stringNums IN VARCHAR2
)
AS
stepCount NUMBER;

BEGIN

SELECT REGEXP_COUNT (stringNums ,',')+1 INTO :stepCount FROM "SYS"."DUAL" ;

END


So in the above stored procedure, the input is like



stringNums  = 12,13,14,15


and in variable stepCount I want to insert 4 , as there is 4 numbers are present



But I get this error:




Bad Bind variable error for stepCount

          You don't need that select



          CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE demostoreproc (
          stringnums IN VARCHAR2
          ) AS
          stepcount NUMBER;
          BEGIN
          stepcount := regexp_count(stringnums,',') + 1;
          END;
          /


          But, what's the procedure doing anyway?



          Rather, you may want a function.



           CREATE OR REPLACE function demostoreproc (
          stringnums IN VARCHAR2
          ) RETURN NUMBER AS
          stepcount NUMBER;
          BEGIN
          stepcount := regexp_count(stringnums,',') + 1;
          RETURN stepcount;
          END;
          /
