Hi,

Macro variables need to be enclosed within double quotes.  So your statement;

select * into :child separated by '","'

Note the single then double quotes and doubel then single.  Then in your program:

and trim(a.program_child_id) in ("&child")

Thus it resolves to: in ("abc","def","efg").

Same for program:

where a.program_id in ("&program")


So your code needs to resolve to SQL compliant results.

Actually it failed.

 

ERROR: ORACLE prepare error: ORA-00904: "&child": invalid identifier.

Thank you. It is working after adding this-

 

(%unquote(%str(%'&child%')))

in where statement.

where findw("&program",strip(a.program),',')
