Declaration in bulk collect

Question

Hi, I have code like below,
DECLARE
     TYPE Rowid_type IS TABLE OF rowid;
     c_rowid_1 rowid_type;
     c_rowid_2 rowid_type;
CURSOR cur_rec_1
IS
SELECT ROWID
FROM emp
WHERE ename like 'A%';
CURSOR cur_rec_2
IS
SELECT ROWID
FROM emp
WHERE ename like 'B%';
BEGIN
BEGIN
OPEN cur_rec_1;
FETCH cur_rec_1
BULK COLLECT INTO c_rowid_1 ;
FOR i IN 1 .. c_rowid_1.COUNT
LOOP
DELETE FROM emp
WHERE ROWID = c_rowid_1(i);
END LOOP;
     close cur_rec_1;
END;
BEGIN
OPEN cur_rec_2;
FETCH cur_rec_2
BULK COLLECT INTO c_rowid_2 ;
FOR i IN 1 .. c_rowid_2.COUNT
LOOP
DELETE FROM emp
WHERE ROWID = c_rowid_2(i);
END LOOP;
close cur_rec_2;
END;
END;
Question :-
whether i need to declare the ' c_rowid_1 ' and ' c_rowid_2 ' or can i run with only one 'c_rowid_1' declaration for both the cursors......thanks. Bcj

Yes, you can even do it with one cursor like this:
DECLARE
    TYPE Rowid_type IS TABLE OF rowid;
    c_rowid rowid_type;
    CURSOR cur_rec (mystring VARCHAR2)
    IS
    SELECT ROWID
    FROM my_tab2
    WHERE pmt_type like mystring;
BEGIN
    BEGIN
        OPEN cur_rec('A%');
        FETCH cur_rec
        BULK COLLECT INTO c_rowid;
        FOR i IN 1 .. c_rowid.COUNT
        LOOP
            DELETE FROM my_tab2
            WHERE ROWID = c_rowid(i);
        END LOOP;
        CLOSE cur_rec;
    END;
    BEGIN
        OPEN cur_rec('B%');
        FETCH cur_rec
        BULK COLLECT INTO c_rowid;
        FOR i IN 1 .. c_rowid.COUNT
        LOOP
            DELETE FROM my_tab2
            WHERE ROWID = c_rowid(i);
        END LOOP;
        CLOSE cur_rec;
    END;
END;
