The following PL/SQL will not execute and simply returns 'Invalid Argument' as an error. I've gone as far as commenting out eavery line one by one and I can vary the error I receive but I cannot get the proc to run as I cannot identify where the error lies and it may well lie in permissions or the executing user but any help will be received gratefully. Here's the proc
DECLARE ind NUMBER; -- Loop index
h1 NUMBER; -- Data Pump job handle
percent_done NUMBER; -- Percentage of job complete
job_state VARCHAR2(30); -- To keep track of job state
le ku$_LogEntry; -- For WIP and error messages
js ku$_JobStatus; -- The job status from get_status jd ku$_JobDesc; -- The job description from get_status
sts ku$_Status; -- The status object returned by get_status
BEGIN
