IF else condition in sql stored procedure - sql

Question

I'm trying to compile the stored procedure:
create
procedure checkFroud2(code IN varchar2, p_recordset OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)
AS
BEGIN
OPEN p_recordset FOR
if code='C' then
select * from emp
//dbms_output.putline('this is if block')
else if code='F' then
dbms_output.putline('this is else block')
else
dbms_output.putline('last else')
end if;
end checkFroud2;
but this is showing compile time errors. Can anybody suggest where the problem is?

Answer 1

CREATE
PROCEDURE checkFroud2(
code IN VARCHAR2,
p_recordset OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)
AS
BEGIN
IF code='C' THEN
dbms_output.put_line('this is if block');
OPEN p_recordset FOR
SELECT * FROM emp;
ELSIF code='F' THEN
--you can open p_recordset with dummy as
/*open p_recordset for select * from dual where 1 = 0; */
dbms_output.put_line('this is else block');
ELSE
/*open p_recordset for select * from dual where 1 = 0; */
dbms_output.put_line('last else');
END IF;
END checkFroud2;
/
var o refcursor;
BEGIN
CHECKfroud2
('C',:o);
END;
/
PRINT O;

Answer 2

The correct code is as follows:
create procedure checkFroud2(code IN varchar2, p_recordset OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)
AS
BEGIN
OPEN p_recordset FOR
if code='C' then
select * from emp
//dbms_output.putline('this is if block');
elsif code='F' then
dbms_output.putline('this is else block');
else
dbms_output.putline('last else');
end if;
end checkFroud2;

Answer 3

ELSE IF doesn't exist use ELSIF, also remove // before dbms_output.putline('this is if block').

Answer 4

This is an example in oracle 11g
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROC_EMP_CHECK
(
EMPNO1 IN NUMBER
, EMPNO2 IN NUMBER
)
AS
EMPONE_NOT_EXISTS EXCEPTION;
EMPTWO_NOT_EXISTS EXCEPTION;
BOTHEMP_NOT_EXISTS EXCEPTION;
EMPCOUNT1 NUMBER;
EMPCOUNT2 NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(1) INTO EMPCOUNT1 FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID=EMPNO1;
SELECT COUNT(1) INTO EMPCOUNT2 FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID=EMPNO2;
BEGIN
IF( EMPCOUNT1=0 AND EMPCOUNT2=0)THEN
RAISE BOTHEMP_NOT_EXISTS;
ELSIF ( EMPCOUNT1=0) THEN
RAISE EMPONE_NOT_EXISTS;
ELSIF ( EMPCOUNT2=0) THEN
RAISE BOTHEMP_NOT_EXISTS;
dbms_output.put_line('ELSE BLOCK');
END IF;
END;
EXCEPTION
WHEN EMPONE_NOT_EXISTS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('EMP One not exit');
WHEN EMPTWO_NOT_EXISTS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('EMP two not exit');
WHEN BOTHEMP_NOT_EXISTS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('both not exit');
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line(SQLERRM);
END PROC_EMP_CHECK;

Answer 5

Use ELSIF instead of ELSE IF. By using ELSE IF you're opening up a new nested IF-block, which you're not closing.

Answer 6

Couple of errors:
1. Open record set for ??? For what??
2. ELSIF and no ELSE IF
3. where is ;
CREATE PROCEDURE CHECKFROUD2 ( CODE IN VARCHAR2,
P_RECORDSET OUT SYS_REFCURSOR )
AS
BEGIN
OPEN P_RECORDSET FOR SELECT * FROM DUAL;
IF CODE = 'C'
THEN
SELECT * FROM EMP;
ELSIF CODE = 'F'
THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUTLINE ( 'this is else block' );
ELSE
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUTLINE ( 'last else' );
END IF;
END CHECKFROUD2;
