    Can anyone tell me how to execute a function within SQL PLus that returns a value.

    Ex.

    create or replace function FN_AREA( P_Radius in number)
    return number as
    Area Number := 0 ;
    begin
    Area := (22/7) * P_radius * P_radius ;
    return Area ;
    end;
    /

    Hey...Don't forget to
    SQL> set serveroutput on
    before executing the function.
    You know that :-)

    Select FN_AREA(x) from dual;

    where x is your P_Radius.
