dont use ANALYZE, that's a keyword

Good advice, however this is not a culprit of the above problem. Oracle doesn't prevent you from having stored procedure named ANALYZE and furthermore - it doesn't prevent you from using this stored procedure.

The real problem in the above error is that the user that tries to submit the job doesn't own that procedure and he/she apparently doesn't have a synonym for that procedure - so the full name notation is required. For example, if the owner of the procedure is SCOTT, then changing the line:

DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(:v_jobnum, 'analyze;', sysdate, 'sysdate +1');

into the following:

DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(:v_jobnum, 'SCOTT.analyze;', sysdate, 'sysdate +1');

will do the job...

Thanks.
But I still cannot work through it by changing the name, any clues?

You are missing semicolon. Change 'test' into 'test;'.

SQL> var jobno number;
SQL> begin
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(:jobno, 'DBMS_UTILITY.ANALYZE_SCHEMA (''SCOTT'', ''COMPUTE'');' ,SYSDATE+1/24, 'trunc(sysdate + 1) + 1/6');
COMMIT;
end;
/


---''SCOTT'', ''COMPUTE''
---'' is two single quote

Thanks for all of your help, I login as b2e54_m ( has dba privilege) to run submitting dbms_job.

SQL> show user
USER is "B2E54_M"
SQL> var v_jobnum number
SQL> begin
2 DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(:v_jobnum,'DBMS_UTILITY.ANALYZE_SCHEMA ("B2E54_M", "COMPUTE");',
3 SYSDATE +1/24, 'trunc(sysdate+1) +1/6');
4 commit;
5 end;

you put double quote " instead of two single quote ''

copy my following sql and try

sql>var v_jobnum number
sql> begin DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(:v_jobnum,'DBMS_UTILITY.ANALYZE_SCHEMA (''B2E54_M'', ''COMPUTE'');',
SYSDATE +1/24, 'trunc(sysdate+1) +1/6');
commit;
end;

Thanks so much, it works.
