testing a stored procedure

[sdeep anand]

Hi,
I have this stored proceure. I inserted data into the table. I want to get data back and this is the stored procedure. I tested using java. My method runs without errors but i dont get any data when I print out. I want to test this procedure in toad to see if it is getting data at all.
userid=sdeep
linesetid =1
fublineid is null for now

how do I test this procedure in toad and see if it is really getting data.

PROCEDURE YYXXX_oj_line_display(l_userid        IN  VARCHAR2,
                                l_line_set_id   IN  NUMBER,
                                l_sub_line_id   IN  NUMBER, 
                                l_line_set      OUT NOCOPY YYXXX_oj_line_set_tbl_type,
                                l_sub_line_set  OUT NOCOPY YYXXX_oj_sub_line_tbl_type,
                                l_line_value    OUT NOCOPY YYXXX_oj_line_value_tbl_type,
                                x_err_msg       OUT VARCHAR2);

Moving to JDBC as I think people there are more likely to have used TOAD:

I spent some time trying to define variable in Toad but without any success. Looks like Toad doesn't support SQL* Plus features like define/print/variable.

One way you can test the procedure is to execute the procedure in the anonymous block by defining local variables for the return values and using dbms_output.put_line. This is more work than using SQL* Plus. The other way is to debug (using break points) the procedure itself and just make a call to the procedure.
