Using CONSTANT in Condition Statement

Question

Hi
What I am trying to do is put CONSTANT into IN Condition Statement.
When I use Bind variables just like :bind, It works properly
But What if I use as a CONTANT, It doesn't work.
In my opinion, parenthesis is not work well.
Please help me out
thanks in advance and below is PL/SQL CODE
PROCEDURE PROC_MAIN
iUserID          IN     VARCHAR2,
iJobID IN VARCHAR2
) AS
C_AGENT CONSTANT VARCHAR(20) := '10,11';
C_staff CONSTANT VARCHAR(20) := '40';
C_newStaff CONSTANT VARCHAR(20) := '50';
C_ETC CONSTANT VARCHAR(20) := '20,30';
BEGIN
vJobId :=
CASE iJobID
WHEN '41' THEN C_AGENT
WHEN '42' THEN C_staff
WHEN '43' THEN C_newStaff
WHEN '40' THEN C_ETC
END;
insert into tbl_monthly
(emp_no, salary)
select emp_no, salary from tbl_emp
where Staff_cat in vJobId ;
end;

Hi,
Please check the changes:
Note: table_name is changed to test.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROC_MAIN
iUserID IN VARCHAR2,
iJobID IN VARCHAR2
) AS
C_AGENT CONSTANT VARCHAR(20) := '10,11';
C_staff CONSTANT VARCHAR(20) := '40';
C_newStaff CONSTANT VARCHAR(20) := '50';
C_ETC CONSTANT VARCHAR(20) := '20,30';
vJobId          VARCHAR2(20);BEGIN
vJobId :=
CASE iJobID
WHEN '41' THEN C_AGENT
WHEN '42' THEN C_staff
WHEN '43' THEN C_newStaff
WHEN '40' THEN C_ETC
END;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'INSERT INTO tbl_monthly(empno, salary) SELECT empno, sal FROM scott.emp WHERE deptno IN ('||vJobId||')' ;
END;
