A Noob's PL/SQL Problem

[pyrocks]

Heya all,

I'm kinda new to pl/sql and while going through some trial-and-error period I encountered the following problem:

I can execute the following pl/sql code and get a result (pasted from sqlplus):

SQL> DECLARE
2 V_ENAME EMP.ENAME%TYPE;
3 BEGIN
4 SELECT ENAME
5 INTO V_ENAME
6 FROM EMP
7 WHERE EMPNO=7900;
8 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(V_ENAME);
9 END;
10 /
JAMES

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

BUT, Whenever I try to put this code as a procedure in a package I get "Warning: Package Body created with compilation errors."
This is the pl/sql code for the package:

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE testing AS
PROCEDURE test;
END testing;
/
--comment: the above code completes successfuly

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY testing AS
PROCEDURE test IS
DECLARE
V_ENAME EMP.ENAME%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT ENAME
INTO V_ENAME
FROM EMP
WHERE EMPNO=7900;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(V_ENAME);
END test;
END testing;
/
--comment: the above code returns Warning.
I also tried to "SHOW ERRORS PROCEDURE test" and got "No Errors".

Does anyone have an idea of why as a pl/sql the code works but as a procedure within a package it doesn't?

Thanks in advance!

Drop the DECLARE

Also it's the package body that has the errors, not "PROCEDURE TEST". The default SHOW ERRORS will report on the last thing you compiled.
