RETURNING CLAUSE ERROR

Question

Hi All,
I was trying to use RETURNING CLAUSE into pl/sql process but it gives error as :-
"1 error has occurred
* ORA-06550: line 12, column 13: PL/SQL: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended ORA-06550: line 6, column 3: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored"
Pl/sql process contains code as below:-
DECLARE
vID VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
INSERT INTO STUDENT_INFORMATION (DOB, AGE, OTHER_DATE, OTHER_AGE)
SELECT TO_DATE(C1_C002, 'MM/DD/YYYY'), C1_C003, TO_DATE(C1_C004, 'MM/DD/YYYY'), C1_C005
FROM (SELECT C1.C002 C1_C002, C1.C003 C1_C003, C1.C004 C1_C004, C1.C005 C1_C005
FROM APEX_COLLECTIONS C1
WHERE C1.COLLECTION_NAME = 'INFORMATION'
AND C1.SEQ_ID = 1)
RETURNING ID INTO vID; // IF I REMOVE THIS LINE & AND THIS INSERT STATEMENT WITH SEMICOLON(;) IN THE ABOVE LINE THE CODE WORKS FINE
// BUT THAN THE I'M GETTING ERROR WITH THE NEXT INSERT STATEMENT
INSERT INTO STUDENT_INFORMATION_GRADE (ID, GRADE_DATE, GRADE_AGE)
SELECT vID, TO_DATE(C2_C002, 'MM/DD/YYYY'), C2_C003
FROM (SELECT C2.C002 C2_C002, C2.C003 C2_C003
FROM APEX_COLLECTIONS C2, APEX_COLLECTIONS C1
WHERE C2.COLLECTION_NAME = 'GRADE'
AND C1.COLLECTION_NAME = 'INFORMATION'
AND C1.SEQ_ID = C2.SEQ_ID
AND C1.SEQ_ID = 1);
INSERT INTO STUDENT_INFORMATION_RESULT (ID, FINAL_RESULT)
SELECT vID, C3_C002
FROM (SELECT C3.C002 C3_C002
FROM APEX_COLLECTIONS C3, APEX_COLLECTIONS C1
WHERE C3.COLLECTION_NAME = 'RESULT'
AND C1.COLLECTION_NAME = 'INFORMATION'
AND C1.SEQ_ID = C3.SEQ_ID
AND C1.SEQ_ID = 1);
END;
I have trying RETURNING CLAUSE with other pl/sql process something like this :-
DECLARE
vID VARCHAR2(20;
BEGIN
INSERT INTO ..... ()
VALUES ()
RETURNING ID INTO vID;
INSERT INTO ... (ID, ....)
VALUES (vID, ..........)
END;
the above code works well with no errors, but when I'm using RETURNING CLAUSE with COLLECTIONS it gives me error.
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks

Deep:
You can perform the inserts in a cursor loop as followsfor x in (SELECT C1.C002 C1_C002, C1.C003 C1_C003, C1.C004 C1_C004, C1.C005 C1_C005
FROM APEX_COLLECTIONS C1
WHERE C1.COLLECTION_NAME = 'INFORMATION'
AND C1.SEQ_ID = 1)
loop
INSERT INTO STUDENT_INFORMATION (DOB, AGE, OTHER_DATE, OTHER_AGE)
values ( TO_DATE(x.C1_C002, 'MM/DD/YYYY'),x.C1_C003, TO_DATE(x.C1_C004, 'MM/DD/YYYY'),x.C1_C005)
RETURNING ID INTO vID;
end loop;Varad
