Just as I predicted, I overlooked something obvious. What a knucklehead I am today.
-----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 11:57 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L How can I do something like this; select count(*) from prod.consenid into usercnt_tmp from dual I want to send the amount of COUNT(*) into a variable. I get the following error ORA-06550: line 5, column 36: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "INTO" when expecting one of the following: . , @ ; for <an identifier> <a double-quoted delimited-identifier> group having intersect minus order start union where connect ORA-06550: line 6, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "END" Is this something that I can do. I am probably overlooking something very obvious.
