Better method of coding.

Question

In my program i have to take the name of the first record and store it in a variable.I am using this value down in my program. I am simulating the scenario with an
example
declare
vname emp.ename%type;
begin
select * from
(select ename into vname from emp where deptno in(10,20) and rownum =1)
dbms_output.put_line (vname);
end;
ERROR at line 6:
ORA-06550: line 5, column 15:
PL/SQL: ORA-01744: inappropriate INTO
ORA-06550: line 4, column 1:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
So i modified the code like this..
declare
vname emp.ename%type;
begin
for emprec in(select * from
(select ename from emp where deptno in(10,20) and rownum =1))
loop
vname:=emprec.ename;
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line (vname);
end;
Is there any better method of doing this?
