I'm working on my first Oracle DB, so bear with me...

I have a couple of validation routines which are both returning the same
result regardless of the inputs. One checks if a Serial No already exists,
the other checks if a Part No is valid.

Currently there are no Serial Nos in the system, so this check shouldnt
fail. And I get a response to indicate that the Part No is valid regardless
of whether it is or not.

I strongly suspect that I'm made the same mistake in each case, but since
I'm not getting any errors, I can't see where.

In both cases, the PL/SQL procedures return a value of 1, whereas if I run
the PL/SQL in SQL Developer with suitable values inserted I get the expected
results

'check that SerialNo/PartNo not used

'check for valid partnos
If Not IsValidPartNo(sPartNo) then iError = iError + 4
