Varray in Oracle 8i

Question

Hello Oracle World,
I have one Problem with an varray.
Problem description:
I get a string like '123|456|789|...' into the procedure.
I have changed the string with a replace function
"v_rufnummer_mod:=''''||replace(v_rufnummer,'|',''',''')||'''';"
---after this I get a new string like "'123','456','789',...'"
"v_rufnummer_mod:=''''||replace(v_rufnummer,'|',''',''')||'''';"
The contents of the variable "v_rufnummer_mod" should be the input for initialization the varray
"test_array_rec lv_name_array := lv_name_array(v_rufnummer_mod);"
My Problem is, that the Variable "v_rufnummer_mod" contents only one value. The interpretation
of the variable is wrong.
This is the procedure:
create or replace procedure p4 (v_rufnummer in varchar2)
as
v_rufnummer_mod varchar2(200);
begin
v_rufnummer_mod:=''''||replace(v_rufnummer,'|',''',''')||'''';
dbms_output.put_line(v_rufnummer_mod||' '||v_rufnummer);
declare
type lv_name_array is varray(20) of record;
test_array_rec lv_name_array := lv_name_array(v_rufnummer_mod);
begin
for lv_loop_num in 1..test_array_rec.count loop
dbms_output.put_line(test_array_rec(lv_loop_num)||' '||test_array_rec.count );
end loop;
end;
End p4;
Could I initialize an varray with the contents of an variable described in the example obove?
Could anyone help my to solve the problem?
Thanks
Christoph Mikolasch
