Need to pass value from check box to the pl/sql function in process

Question

My requirement is to use single value check box and pass the flag value to the pl/sql function.
The function need to interpret the flag and execute accordingly.
In this case checkbox name is P1_DELETE and it returns Delete, if checked.
Anonymous block with in the process looks as follows:
declare
l_result VARCHAR2(1024);
begin
l_result := test_function(:P1_DELETE);
end;

Hi Visu,
checkboxes in APEX are handled as arrays, namely APEX_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2. To pass and process the checked values of checkboxes in a pl/sql function or procedure you could use the following way, assuming you have a checkbox named P1_DELETE with a single return value of "Delete"
DECLARE
    l_checkbox_values apex_application_global.vc_arr2;
BEGIN
    l_checkbox := :P1_DELETE;
    -- calling function test_function processing the value
    test_function(NVL(l_checkbox(1), 'SOME_OTHER_VALUE'));
END;If the checkbox is not checked then the array at position 1 is null and you have to process that as you like.
If your checkbox would be a group than the array would be colon separated such as 1:2:3:4 etc. and you would have to loop the array like:
    FOR idx IN 1..l_checkbox.COUNT LOOP
        test_function(l_checkbox(idx));
    END LOOP;Hope that helps.
