Sql query(PL/SQL function body return SQL query) with in(x,y,z) condition

Question

Hello,
I've set up a region definition of type "SQL Query(PL/SQL function body return SQL query). In my query I make use of an "in" condition. When I populate :P755_INC_BARG_UNIT with a value of 0F (no quotes), I get the correct count. However, when I set :P755_INC_BARG_UNIT to 0F, 0E I get an invalid count. What do I have to set the page item to?
When running the query in TOAD, and setting :P755_INC_BARG_UNIT to the string inside the brackets (0F, 0E) I get the proper count.
The code I use is shown below. Any help would be appreciated,
Alex.
DECLARE
v_sql VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
SELECT count(*) "cnts",
''Faculty data file IDs missing in appt table'' "err_type"
FROM hradmin.et_faculty_salary fs left outer join
hradmin.appointments appt
ON trim(fs.empl_id) = appt.emp_emp
and appt.ear_activ <> ''Z''
and appt.ear_type = ''F''
and (appt.ear_class in (''A'',''B'',''C'',''D''))
and appt.ear_bargunit in ( :P755_INC_BARG_UNIT )
WHERE appt.emp_emp is null
RETURN v_sql;
END;

Alex,
try something like:
DECLARE
v_sql VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
v_sql := <YOUR_SQL_STATEMENT_WITH_P755_INC_BARG_UNIT_IN_IT>;
v_sql :=  REPLACE(v_sql, ':P755_INC_BARG_UNIT',:P755_INC_BARG_UNIT);
RETURN v_sql;
END; But before doing it read this:
