But, what happens if siteuse_code has multiple values.
if the first value satisfies the the condition, will it exit the LOOP ??
if , Yes. what about remaining values in siteuse_code ?Simply the code will exit from the loop at the first element of the collection siteuse_code that is equal to cust.site_use_code and it will go through other elements of the collection.
for a in 1..siteuse_code.count()
LOOP
IF cust.site_use_code = siteuse_code(a)
THEN v_valid_site_use := 'Y';
exit;
END IF;
END LOOP;
{code}
Suppose that you have 10 elements and the third satisifies the condition. The code will exit from the loop and a will have a value of 3.
I hope it is clear.
