Try applying data conversion function to_char/to_date or nvl function if dd
and dd1 are numbers to the nulls in the second select.
Example:
cursor c1 is
select dd,dd1,dd2,dd3 from dd
union
select to_char(null),to_char(null),dd2,dd3
from dd1;
The point here is you need to have as many columns in your second select
statement as your first select has and the datatypes have to match.
