Hi,
I have a program that takes a value from the user and then uses the value in a cursor in a Select statement.
It goes something like this:

chcode PIC X(2);

ACCEPT :chcode;

Select * from tablename where empno not in
(select empno from tablename2 where code = :chcode)

This is fine though I need a way to take in one or more values for 'chcode' which can then be compared in the select statement.
Any help or comments are appreciated.

Hi,
You can try making 'chcode' as Table with occurs clause , and you can execute the sql statements in a loop
with multiple values of chcode ...another approach would be reading from a file having chcode values ...
Iam just giving you some idea and i haven't tried these
