Pass list of values in an array to the IN statement of SELECT in Oracle 10g

Question

Hi,
This is what I have done so far...
I have loaded the main array array_number_1 using BULK Collect. Within the loop I am filtering the data from this array and writing to another array array_number_2.
I want to use the values from array_number_2 in the SELECT statement.
Eg: SELECT sum(x_amount) charges
FROM x_table
WHERE id IN (array_number_2).
Could you provide a solution to this preferrably with an example.
thanks

I'm not entirely following you, Visakh, but I have a SQL Task setup in which I have an expression that makes a call to a db2 database such as the abbreviated set example below.  The list of IDs in the IN statement must come from another  SQL Server
database.   In the past I have  gotten the list of IDs, put them in a recordset and then put that in a for loop to iterate and make one call to db2 for each and every ID.   The single ID example can literally take days to run for 100,000 IDs.
 Therefore, I want to pull the entire set of results back at one time via a single (or at least fewer calls than there are IDs) DB2 call using 'in' instead.  Maybe I am overlooking something but I don't quite see how your example will get me where
I want to go.  
Set Example
SELECT 
   A,
   B
FROM 
    Table 1, 
    Table 2, 
WHERE 
    Joins   
    AND PRSNEUP.ID in  ( This is where I want a list of IDs )
Single ID Example
SELECT     A,  
 B
FROM   
  Table 1,      Table 2, 
WHERE     
Joins        AND PRSNEUP.ID =  ( VariableContainingASingleID
