Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Log into a database
2. open a sql editor and paste the code below:

 SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
EXEC if trunc(sysdate)=to_date('23.05.2013','dd.mm.yyyy') then  dbms_output.put_line('today is 23'); else dbms_output.put_line('today is not 23'); end if;
 3. Press F5

you will get the error message

BEGIN if trunc(sysdate)=to_date('23.05.2013','dd.mm.yyyy') then  dbms_output.put_line('today is 23'); END;
Error at line 2
ORA-06550: line 1, column 106:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol ";" when expecting one of the following:

   if

Script Terminated on line 2

WORKAROUND

Use double quotes.For example:

EXEC "if trunc(sysdate)=to_date('23.05.2013','dd.mm.yyyy') then  dbms_output.put_line('today is 23'); else dbms_output.put_line('today is not 23'); end if;"

STATUS
