SQL & PL/SQL

Hi,

I tried to put 'Set serveroutput on' into a procedure. But, when
I compiled it, I received the error below. Can anyone tell me
what I am doing wrong?

SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf

1 CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE P2
2 IS
3 BEGIN
4 SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
5* END;
6 /

Warning: Procedure created with compilation errors.

SQL> sho err
Errors for PROCEDURE P2:

LINE/COL ERROR
-------- --------------------------------------------------------
4/5 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "SERVEROUTPUT" when
expecting one of the following:
transaction



Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Nikhil Kulkarni
