How to Select each check box values in a group of records

Question

Hi,
I have a requirement in forms 10g. In that form there are 10 records are displaying each record has one check box is there if i click the check box on record number one and record number three and do some changes in the text field(adjustment field is number data type) then finally I want to see the total on one field called total amount.
In this my question is how to select particular records in a group of records? and finally these selected records are inserted into one table.
Because I am not able to fetch these records at a time.
Is there any Array to define a record group to fetch each of them individually for example Rec[1],Rec[2]...like that if yes please suggest me the steps how to do this.
Thanks in advance
Prasanna

I'm sorry, but i didn't get your requirement in detail.
Do you want to do the summing of the selected records in forms ? Or do you just want to know which records are selected and then process them?
If you want to process the selected records in sql you could use an object-type to store the list of id's (of whatever primary key you use), loop over the block to fill it, and then afterwards process them.
For this approach, first create an object-type in the database:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE ID_LIST AS TABLE OF NUMBER;
/Then, in forms you could do something like this to fill a list of id's:
DECLARE
  lIds ID_LIST:=ID_LIST();
BEGIN
  GO_BLOCK('MYBLOCK');
  FIRST_RECORD;
  LOOP
    EXIT WHEN :SYSTEM.RECORD_STATUS='NEW';
    IF :BLOCK.CHECKBOXITEM="CHECKEDVALUE" THEN
      lIds.EXTEND(1);
      lIds(lIds.COUNT):=:BLOCK.PRIMARYKEYITEM;
    END IF;
    EXIT WHEN :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD='TRUE';
    NEXT_RECORD;
  END LOOP;
  -- Now you can use the object-list in SQL like :
  INSERT INTO MYNEWTABLE (cols..)
  SELECT (cols..)
    FROM MYOLDTABLE
   WHERE ID IN (SELECT COLUMN_VALUE FROM TABLE(lIds));
