Hi Raj ! Actually I had similar problems some days back where i was supposed to treturn recordset(more than one) . At that time i created object and collection of object and then using cast operator and "the" operator i was able to return recodset from function . I could have used that function in sql statement also; Actually i am Delphi programmar and our client does not want to use like that. Moreover they don't want to use ref cursor or any PL sql table i hope u will sugeest some thing on it. thanx in advance Shishir Kumar Mishra Software Engineer Agni Software (P) Ltd., 25/1, 11th Main,18th Cross, Malleswaram, Bangalore-560055, India
