I got a variale which passing by other problem to pl/sql colBuf="USER,NAME,LOC,DATE" need to make it like this tempcolBuf=||'^B'||bfary(i).user||'^B'||bfary(i).name||'^B'||bfary(i).loc||'^B'||bfary(i).date||'^B' anyone can help? any command can use? or loop? hopefully can get the solution by syntax... Thank you
