I would like to format my output for the select query.

Example:
SQL>select empno, ename from emp;

empno										ename
1987766									Jack Blake
187765									Greg Ni
...
...
...



But I would like to get the output in the below format

EMPNO:.................1987766
ENAME:.................Jack Blake

EMPNO:.................187765
ENAME:.................Greg Ni


I will need help in printing the column name. I would like to know how do we address the column name to print.

Thanks

As we have not your "PV" procedure we can't help.
But I bet it needs you "set serveroutput on".

let me know if anyone can help please ...

As your script creates a procedure named print_table and you called a procedure named pv, I think you didn't call the procedure you think you called.
... or you faked your output, in both cases we can't help.

there is no difference other than me change the name of the procedure from print_table to pv.

it works fine with print_table. but just curious why it ditn work with procedure name pv.

You (B22222) do not have/own a procedure called "PV" despite your erroneous claims to the contrary.
When reality is not accurately reported & posted, confusion reigns supreme.
This is a prime example why COPY & PASTE are vital debugging tools.

SELECT OBJECT_TYPE, OWNER from DBA_OBJECTS WHERE OBJECT_NAME = 'PV';

I think the mistake was I forgot that my colleague had granted select privilege on a function pv which didn't work. Now when I try to create a procedure that's where it strying to look per my understanding.

Thanks for troubleshooting my problem.
