hi Andrew,
consider using a array (pl/sql table) as a return
datatype of your function. Inside the function open ur
cursor and populate that set of rows u wanna return
into the return datatype.. which would be an array in
this case. note that u must define a global array in
some package first so that u could thereafter define
and start using the array as a return datatype of ur
function.
if all the above sounds mumbo jumbo to u then let me
know .. i will send e.g. 2 u next time;)
