Update Query Error:

Question

T-SQL:
UPDATE #ferms SET xfer_seq = @xfer_seq, @xfer_seq = @xfer_seq + 1
     WHERE ferm_eqmt_id = @ferm_eqmt_id
When i m migrating this its telling me:
[SPCONV-ERR(320)]:(UPDATE .. SET SPAC_ASSIGN_FERMS.xfer_seq = ..) ORACLE does not support the return of multiple rows into a local variable.*/
Is there something I do to work around it? Would this work:
UPDATE #ferms SET xfer_seq = @xfer_seq     
WHERE ferm_eqmt_id = @ferm_eqmt_id and
@xfer_seq = @xfer_seq + 1
Thanks,

scott, you're right. the example i posted was a simple SQL statement and not part of the PL/SQL.
also substitution variables can be use inside a PL/SQL:
emp_sample.sql:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
DECLARE
  vEmpName     emp.ename%type;
BEGIN
  Select emp.ename
    Into vEmpName
    From emp
   Where emp.empno = &EmployeeNumber;
  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('+-----------+');
  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Employee Name: '||vEmpName);
  Update emp
     Set comm  = &commission
   Where ename = vEmpName;
  Commit;
END;
/when emp_sample.sql is run:
SQL> @r:\emp_sample.sql;
Enter value for employeenumber: 7566
old   7:    Where emp.empno = &EmployeeNumber;
new   7:    Where emp.empno = 7566;
Enter value for commission: 1000
old  13:      Set comm  = &commission
new  13:      Set comm  = 1000
+-----------+
Employee Name: JONES
