Cursor C1 is select empno from emp
where empno in (:Text_Value);
In this case it is not working,So PLS any one knews a way to pass there values to cursor????????Thanks for helping

Answer 1

It's not cursor but it can use to get all numbers in your test field and then you can use cursor for get information for any of the numbers.
DECLARE
rg_name VARCHAR2(40) := 'Group_Empno'
rg_id RecordGroup;
status NUMBER;
the_Rowcount NUMBER;
j number;
col_val number;
BEGIN
** Make sure group doesn't already exist
rg_id := Find_Group( rg_name );
** If it does not exist, create it.
IF Id_Null(rg_id) THEN
rg_id := Create_Group_From_Query( rg_name,
'SELECT EMPNO FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO IN ('||:TEXT_VALUE||')');
END IF;
status := Populate_Group( rg_id );
*/ *** Zero status is success*** /
IF status = 0 THEN
the_Rowcount := Get_Group_Row_Count( rg_id );
FOR j IN 1..the_Rowcount LOOP
col_val := GET_GROUP_NUMBER_CELL( 'Group_empno.empno', j );
/* Here goes your part of procedure which can include cursor which will retrive every empno from above select so cursor will look like:
cursor x is
select empno from emp
where empno = col_val;
END LOOP;
ELSE
Message('Error creating query record group.');
RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
END IF;
END;
