The DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT procedure (the SUBMIT procedure is provided with the DBMS_JOB Oracle supplied package) is used to submit a new job to be executed to the job queue. The DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT procedure accepts five parameters and returns the number of a submitted job through the JOB parameter. The following table describes those five parameters:
| JOB | OUT | Unique identifier of the job |
| WHAT | IN | PL/SQL code to execute as a job |
| NEXT_DATE | IN | Next execution date of the job |
| INTERVAL | IN | Date function to compute the next execution date of a job |
| NO_PARSE | IN | Boolean flag that indicates whether or not to parse the job at job submission (the default is false) |
