Answer 1

Let say:

If you have Store procedure with output parameter:

Create procedure test(name out varchar2(50))
as
begin
name:='testing output parameter';
-- dbms_output.put_line('Output parameter value ' || name );
end;

Now execute the above procedure :

declare
l_name varchar2(50);
begin
test(l_name);
dbms_output.put_line( 'name = ' || l_ename );
end;

Answer 2

Just a couple of issues:

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
   outputString VARCHAR(20);
BEGIN
  string_opp('input String', outputString);
  dbms_output.put_line(outputString);
END;

You can use as the same variable:

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
   outputString VARCHAR(20);
BEGIN
  outputString := 'input String';
  string_opp(outputString);
  dbms_output.put_line(outputString);
END;

Just define your procedure parameter as IN OUT in place of just OUT.
