    Because you are only allowed to use PL/SQL code for a job.
    Here you're trying to invoke a SQL*Plus script and the parser doesn't recognize the 'E:\ ... ' as a valid PL/SQL block.

    In addition to that:

    * You have to use either an SQL*Plus bind variable or a PL/SQL variable. Here you declare PL/SQL variable JobNo and use SQL*Plus bind variable. If you want to print jobno in this way you have to use bind variable.

    * You have to COMMIT after dbms_job.submit.
    Code:
    variable JobNo number
    begin
      DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(:JobNo, 
      'BEGIN pl_sql_code; END;', 
      SysDate, 
      'SysDate + 1/24'); 
      commit;
    end;
    /
    print JobNo
