The compiler wants a value to be provided for non-variable contained in a comment preceded by ampersand

DataProcessingJun 30 2025

Reproducible. You must provide a value in the pop-up Suggestions panel when a comment contains an ampersand as shown.

SAMPLE.

create or replace procedure p_ampersand
is
--add comment & ampersand
procedure np_nested_proc
is
begin
null;
end;
begin <

>
np_nested_proc;
dbms_output.put_line('main procedure executed');
end;
