SQL & PL/SQL

Dears,

I created the table testing.

Now i wrote a procedure like this.

create or replace procedure trunc_test
(ov_v_output OUT VARCHAR2) IS
begin
truncate table testing;
end;

I got error message as

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "TABLE" when expecting one of the following:

:= . ( @ % ;

Anybody help in this regard..

Thanks & Regards,
Raja.
