To insert multiple rows by getting the values from the user

Question

Hi
I want to insert multiple rows into a table using user given values dynamically.
I am a beginner to PL/SQL. Below code is part of my big code. A_row_insert is 2 and A_count is 1 (initially). While i execute , it asks for input only once and insert the same data 2 times. I want to enter two different rows. Please guide/advise me on this.
while (A_count<=A_row_insert) loop
dbms_output.put_line('Enter the value  for the row#'||A_count||' of the table '||v_req_tab_name||':');
begin
INSERT INTO customers (
customer# ,
lastname ,
firstname ,
address ,
city ,
state ,
referred ,
region
+)+
VALUES
+(+
+&customer,+
+'&lastname' ,+
+'&firstname' ,+
+'&address' ,+
+'&city' ,+
+'&state' ,+
+&referred ,+
+'&region'+
+);+
end;
A_count := A_count 1;+
end loop;

hi,
You need to write a procedure and call it from front end for n number of time..... check the parameters you need to pass to execute the procedure.... try given sample....
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE InsertData(i_code IN VARCHAR2,i_code_desc IN VARCHAR2,i_code_type IN VARCHAR2)
AS
BEGIN
     INSERT INTO CODE_MASTER (code,code_desc,code_type)
VALUES(i_code,i_code_desc,i_code_type);
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( 'Error during Insert code - '||i_code );
END;
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
exec InsertData('code1','desc1','type1');
