Problems with creating a complex cursor

Question

Let me prefix this post with the fact that I am really new at this and this is my first shot at creating a Stored Proc. I have the shell and I have tried to code this but I am having some issues with the cursor. Any tips or tricks that you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Below is what I am trying to accomplish
Looking for the best approach to work with a complex cursor.
I have 4 files that are going to dump into a temp table. This is a sample of the Temp Table
CHAN_ADDR,BRA,SRC_ID,R_Flag,C_Flag,S_Flag,N_Flag,Expire_Date,Wireless_Flag
1111111111,R,1-a,,,,NDNC,7/7/2006,
2222222222,R,2-b,,,SDNC,NDNC,7/7/2006,WIR
3333333333,R,3-c,,,SDNC,NDNC,7/8/2006,
4444444444,R,4-d,y,,SDNC,NDNC,7/9/2006,WIR
5555555555,R,5-e,y,,SDNC,,7/10/2006,
6666666666,R,6-f,y,,,,,WIR
7777777777,R,7-g,,,,,,
8888888888,R,8-h,y,,,NDNC,7/7/2006,WIR
I need to take this data and dump it into another table that looks like the following:
ADDR     Per_ID     Method     Name     Expire Date     Flag
1111111111     1-a     Phone     Nat     7/7/2006     Y
2222222222     2-b     Mobile     State     7/7/2006     Y
2222222222     2-b     Mobile     Nat     7/7/2006     Y
4444444444     3-c     Mobile     R     7/9/2006     y
4444444444     3-c     Mobile     State     7/9/2006     y
4444444444     3-c     Mobile     Nat     7/9/2006     y
know that I need to use a cursor using loop and fetch but I am kind of confused on how to make this work. I am fairly new to writing PL/SQL so any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated.
For each phone number there can be 1 to 3 records written based on the flags. For each of those records I must store the phone number, the id, flag data, expire date (for only State or National) and Flag must always be checked.
I have put together a small shell of the program but what goes in the middle is where I am having some problems.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE USP_EIM_CONTACT3_UPD

     BRA,

     v_sysdate                     DATE:=SYSDATE;

TO_CHAR (v_sysdate, 'MON-DD-YYYY HH24:MI.SS'));
     DBMS_OUTPUT.NEW_LINE;
FOR rec IN dnc_cursor LOOP
     v_counter:=v_counter+1;
     BEGIN
     SELECT CHAN_ADDR
     INTO v_chan_addr
     FROM eim_admin.RCCL_OPT_OUT_TMP;

          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('ORA-'||SQLCODE||' '||SQLERRM);
     END;
BEGIN
          INSERT INTO siebel.S_PER_COMM_ADDR
     (ADDR)
VALUES
(rec.CHAN_ADDR);          
          v_insert := v_insert + SQL%ROWCOUNT;
     EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('*** Failed to insert into siebel.S_PER_COMM_AADDR DDR ***');
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('ORA-'||SQLCODE||' '||SQLERRM);
     END;
END LOOP;
--Output STATISTICS.
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('**Number records read :'||v_counter);
DBMS_OUTPUT.NEW_LINE;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('***Completing USP_EIM_CONTACT3_UPD, time is ' ||
TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'MON-DD-YYYY HH24:MI.SS'));
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' ****Error in USP_EIM_CONTACT3_UPD ****'||SQLCODE||SQLERRM);                              
END USP_EIM_CONTACT3_UPD;
I have already created the table. What we are going to do is using sqlloader to load our text files into our temp table. From there we are going to read the data from the temp table into a table that is already created.
Basically what I am trying to do is the following:
Cursor 1
select * from Temp where, State_Flag and National_Flag is not null
Insert into Siebel.S_PER_COMM_ADDR
set id = source var
set phone = chann_add var
If
wireless flag is not null
set method = 'Mobile"
else
set method = 'Home'
end if
If
Brand = 'r' and R_Flag is not null
set name flg1
set flag as 'T'
and so on.
I am getting confused as to where to call the variables:
set id = source var
set phone = chann_add var
I am also confused on how to do the sets and how to set the date for S_Flag and N_Flag.
One of the other issues is that I need to go and look at the base table to pick up anyone else that has the phone number and update or delete based on the data in the table.

Answer 1

I am getting confused as to where to call the variables:
set id = source var
set phone = chann_add var have you defined your variables in the DECLARE area? is that a cursor variable or plain variable? need more info.
