  2    PROCEDURE DBA_TASK (day VARCHAR2) AS
  3    BEGIN
  4      IF day = 'MONDAY' THEN
  5        DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Checking log files.');
  6      ELSIF day = 'FRIDAY' THEN
  7        DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Rebuild indexes.');
  8      ELSE
  9        DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Reading some papers.');
 10      END IF;
 11    END;
 12  BEGIN
 13    DBA_TASK('MONDAY');
 14    DBA_TASK('TUESDAY');
 15  END;
 16  /
 
SQL> EXECUTE DBA_WEEK;
