Hello,
Is your aim to get the Name from the table into the variable. ?
And if there is only one row from the table you can use refresh variable to get the name:
if there are more rows and you want to do somehthing repeatedly using the name, then you need to use the method you have described.
Declare the variable in the pakcage and give some default value to the variable then call the procedure.
